Question regarding approach techniques..

The topic regarding the B777 incident at LHR has raised a question in my mind and that is: "Does the typical landing approach of a heavy aircraft depend upon engine power being always available?"

I am thinking of the comparison with a glider approach which (if I understand correctly) is done with altitude in reserve using lift spoilers to keep on the desired path.

Thank you.
