Another tip - if you have a VP prop pull the blue knob all the way out to extend the glide and then use it as a nice controllable airbrake as you approach your chosen landing spot.
I may be wrong on this and please correct me if I am, but wouldn't a VP prop be "off the governor" in an EFATO situation and be forced into a fully fine pitch due to both lack of oil pressure and centrifugal force so attempting to move it to a course pitch for better glide performance would not be an available option?
