"Check Vfe"! Screw that. Put down as much flap as you can at whatever speed you care to (but don't get slow) and sideslip it all the way to the flare and then make it more of a 'check' and get it on the ground to allow friction to do its job. Who cares about a few pulled rivets if you walk away from a catastrophic engine failure with such limited options? Don't try and grease it on because all that lovely field of yours is getting used up as you mince along trying not to upset the champagne glasses. As for EFATO 'checks'; turn off the fuel and anything else is a bonus.

Sounds agricultural, I know, but there is a difference between the real thing and training, where flap overspeeds etc are looked upon badly
