When there is time left in the simulator it is always big fun to practice engine out landings (757 / 767).

Best - to my humble opinion - is the planning for flying a high downwind (4000 ft. region) with a quite normal distance , also a normal turn to base. The base turn depends on your altitude and in this way , changes of making it wrong are strongly reduced.

As for all airplanes plan to land at a third of the runway.
Whenever this seems to work , ad flaps to sink-in to more of the beginning of the runway. Experience and practice works always good. A save landing is almost assured when within gliding range.

A straight in planning from far away is harder than planning high overhead and making a high downwind - again in my opinion.

Gear and flaps :

Always extend gear ofcourse ! with a long straight in and narrow margin , I once choosed a very late gear down - using the alternate gear down i.s.o. the slow normal cycle (reducing drag is long as possible)

Flaps are an option: if low don't use them but land with the full +/- 200kts and full manual braking and evac as the wheels will get hot.
Normally: use flaps , easy when flying the high downwind !

757 : hydraulics don't extend the flaps anymore - alternate flaps are electric.
767 : when apu is running , the air driven pump provides hydr. to operate the flaps up to the full down position

both 757 and 767 of course have the RAT for hydr. steering

cheers !
