On the 732/733 endorsement programs, we usually throw in a couple of 10,000 foot downwind double engine failures abeam the threshold.

Considering those students who get in - which is surprisingly many - it doesn't seem to matter much which school of philosophy is followed. I have seen the gear and flap out at 9000 feet followed by a slowish descent and a nice touchdown at 1000 feet, 250 knots to mid final, and lots of variations within those extremes.

The principal determinants of success hinge around energy management and a good monitoring of profile, allowing for a significantly steeper path without the idle thrust contribution.

I like the earlier comment regarding a constant window picture and drag as necessary to control the energy.
