Itchybum,
Yes, EFATO and Glide Approaches all done with Idle Power.
My point in detailing the procedures the ADF and BAe followed for FLWOP was to illustrate that sometimes there are alternatives to the methods that many intructors have used in the past, and that still achieve very good training value, while effectively managing the risks (or at the very least reducing the risks) involved in such training.
With respect to the "engine warming" orbits, yes bloggs frequently used them to buy some time and avoid everything falling to sh*t.
