Have to agree. My experience of PFLs, albeit in a piston engine aircraft, is of picking the field and executing a safe approach with the fear that when the instructor says "that's a goodun" and opens up the throttle....The engine splutters and dies. Result would be one aircraft sans undercart in a field, or worse, for no good reason.
