My last engine failure occured in a single engine airplane at 150' in a canyon. I jettisoned my load, made a 90 degree turn, and hit the hillside.

So much for alpha this and alpha that.

Procedures like those are really spiffy if you happen to have an engine failure with altitude above a runway...but it usually doesn't happen like that in the real world.

Procedure? Yes. Fly the airplane until it stops moving, then get out and look for the fire.
