I actually carried out a similar excercise just before my GFT-equivalent: writing down every possible emergency I could think of and then writing down the immediate actions/flight profiles in a big table. It ran to three pages (!) -- a similar list to mine can be found at http://www.avweb.com/news/columns/189016-1.html (altho' I'd argue a few of these are a bit unnecessary...)

The best practice I found (if you've got an instructor handy) is to try a few compounded emergencies -- everyone *should* be able to fly a stuck throttle approach, or a simulated SRA, or a no compass/no gyro recovery, but how about all three at the same time?

my instructor liked being a bit of a bastard, y'see...
