Checking the oil. 
Most non geared fixed pitch airplane propellers "windmill" when the engine is not firing as long as it is moving at decent airspeed. IOW, if the engine quit and he got the prop to stop by slowing his airspeed, he would simply just need to put the nose down to regain some airspeed and the prop would start turning again on its own.
