Post Another Forced Landing issue.

There seems to be 2 schools of thought on inital actions (disregarding checks) to be taken during an engine failure in a single.
-Raise the nose immediately to convert speed(assuming cruise) into altitude.

or

-trim the nose attitude to glide (ie: maintain straight and level for a limited period prior to glide).

Any thoughts on which is preffered, please include reasons. <img src="cool.gif" border="0">
