How about you just use good judgement and flightplanning to ensure you don't need these little tricks in the future?

Fly as per the flight manual and plan as per the regs. I've never had to go outside of the certified limits of any airframe or engine in 1000s of flight hours. GA, regionals and international airline ops.

Personally I'd never feather a prop unless the engine was not operational IN FLIGHT or during start/stop sequences. The feathered propeller will resist bending once contacting terra firma and cause an aircraft to flip. An unfeathered propeller will bend.

Having said that I'd do whatever the procedure in the QRH or flight manual told me. I wouldn't make it up as I go or use hangar talk procedures.
