Mr. Moto, I had a similar experience with an engine failure at 10,000' in a C206.
The engine failure was caused by the fact that a skydiver had just exited the door taking the key with him!
However, I had plenty of time to plan a decent circuit onto a nice long, hard runway.
Next time that skydiver was "spotting" I managed a pull/kick that took the aircraft nicely out from under him, putting him out 10 miles from the DZ! Also, I never again flew that type without a spare key in my flight suit pocket!
