I have been reading this, and a few previous reports, what stands out to me, is that we might have an issue with forced landings, be it partial or no power, and managing the energy on approach. Most reports have one thing in common, everyone is coming in way too fast. I’ve just read three reports in which aircraft have ended up overshooting, to planned returns to a runway.

I am aware that 208 Pilots do conduct training before checked out with turn back training and so on.

What techniques are used these days to teach the young pilots to burn the speed? I assume S turns on final was a common one. I know it’s something that probably isn’t done enough, and generally only taught at a home base airport only a couple of times before a flight test.
