We all have different ways of doing things, including how we approach and land airplanes.
We do Chuck but as an instructor, and as an instructor involved in teaching pilots to become instructors, I have to focus on what I feel is best practice for teaching a wide range of abilities simply and safely. What I would choose to do myself with my experience and wisdom or lack of it, isnt what I would necessarily pass on to others as best instructional practice.
I would certainly reccomend all single engine pilots to regularily practice glide approachs, but to practice them as an abnormal or emergency procedure to enhance engine out judgement not as a standard approach.
Good night!
