I thought the engine had stopped?


The prop will often keep turning after the engine has stopped - unless
you can feather it. (I have flown singles with feathering propellors,
but they are the exception).

There are also degrees of engine failure other than quitting dead -
sometimes, an engine may continue to make a minimal amount of power
after the failure event occurred.
