There is no regulation requiring students or instructors to demonstrate a feathered approach and landing, either on initial twin or endorsement training on type. Unless the specific aircraft type is known to exhibit unusual handling characteristics
with a propeller feathered (such as marked yaw at the flare), there is no point in taking unnecessary risks by deliberately
feathering a propeller for landing when the safest option is to throttle back to zero thrust.
quite interesting.
