Looks good to me.

In an engine out situation you really don’t want to try and stretch the glide.

I too have never had a real one, I know people who have, and apparently they are nothing like a PFL.

I’d much rather be this little bit too high, in fact I was taught it’s fine to run off the end of the field at low speed, but you really don’t want to be hitting the hedge before the threshold at best glide speed.

IMHO, The learning point is, it’s better to arrive high and go into trees on the ground at low speed than it is to arrive low and hit something before the threshold at high speed.
