My statement that "I prefer to use the same landing technique for an 8,000 ft runway as for a 600 ft dirt strip" was for landings with available power. The extrapolation being that if I do it the same way on the long and short runways with available power I would also do it the same way after an engine failure. The key points of "same landing technique" being selection of a touchdown point and using the sight picture to control descent to land at that point. (The runways were not hypothetical, it's turning out to be a fairly regular trip for me.)
