Part of a PPL licence test in the old, old days was the ability to do a spot landing from some thousands (forget how high) of feet sans power. Chucks (an extremely experienced aviator BTW - wish I'd flown some of his stuff) engine off from 200' ought be a piece of cake for anyone who calls him/herself an aviator.
At all of my last renewals I had to fly this 2.000ft above field power off at downwind about threshold glide approach to hit threshold marking or at most 100m after. Don't they do this any longer?
