A C207 landed short of the runway today at Coffs Harbour today due to engine failure. So who out there does powered approaches in piston engined singles? I always rather be higher on the approach then lower for this reason, after all, if the engine quits, you haven't got the luxury of another engine. Too often I see pilots who drag it in with power, being low on the approach. Perhaps a reality check is needed sometimes to help avoid these types of accidents. There should be no reason why a landing on the runway could not be made if you are either in the circuit or within gliding distance of the airport.
