An aside to this discussion is how to practice/demonstrate forced approaches in a high perf single. As one doesn't actually stop the prop in a practice forced approach shouldn't one move the pitch control to lowest RPM to most accurately simulate a "dead stick" condition? I know I did and when questioned by the check pilot I gave the reason mentioned above. He said "Hmm, I hadn't thought of that."

After an excellent landing you can use the airplane again!
