Post C152 Emergency Autoland.

I was recently shown an interesting technique for emergencies in a C152. . .. .Say you are going along and you suffer a heart attack. You are going to lose consciousness any second. Or you are about to die but your beloved is in the passenger seat.. .. .Pull the power back to idle and trim fully back. The thing will glide stabley down and thus have the least damaging eventual contact with the ground. . .. .This doesn't necessarily work with other aircraft eg C172.
