This brings up the question: How do you know the engine was running?
Just because the prop is turning doesn't mean the engine is running.
Typically the prop doesn't stop until well into the roll out even with
a dead engine...unless the engine seized. Of course if it's digging
into the runway it stops pretty quick unless the engine is developing
power.


You should be able to stop the prop by pulling the mix, and slowing the
aircraft to just short of a stall.
