Judd, I did my commercial flight trading 30 odd years ago and on my test over Pinaroo airfield in South Australia at 6000 feet the examiner pulled the throttle back and said OK, "engine failure, land down there".
I stuffed it and failed. In hindsight (a tough tool) I deserved to be failed.
Point is I then got some instruction from a couple of RAAF fellas who showed me how they taught dead stick landings. Do a little research (Google is your friend) and try to find out how they do it.
If you end up up north in a C208 and it all goes quiet one day you may be thankful.
I know I was, 30 odd years later I still am.
Craven.
