during this whole time you would be choosing your field and planning your approach.
There are primary actions vs. secondary actions.
Plan your approach!!! make that field. Choose two key points. Base points, 1,000ft agl. Build your own circuit. 172, i would pick 2 base key points (left/right base ), 1,000ft AGL and 1 mile out (1/2 base & 1/2 final). try for the first base, if too high, go for the second one. Judge your approach. Once you use flaps you are committed, I would hold off on the flaps and slip if I need to. Once on final and are sure of making your field, you can use flaps in accordance to the type of landing to be carried out (i.e. soft, short, obstacle, etc.)
Secondary actions would be the restart.shutdown, mayday call, pax briefing.
All emergencies are different, but teach your students the PDM skills or help them develop so they can have a fighting chance if faced with a real one.
