I've done exactly that many times, so thank you
The point is that in a low inertia draggy machine if you close the throttle at a height at which everything would work well in a spam can, you will quickly slow down and hit the ground earlier than you expected with a high descent rate. It's the change in power that catches you out, not having no power. How would we do PFLs and real engine out landings?
