I know a crew that was overhead airport A at FL250 when they lost an engine in a turboprop. They descended and landed at airport B about 20 miles away. They were violated for not landing at A.

Ah, the dreaded auto-rotation vertical deathly dive/spin in a fixed wing a/c, rather than a relaxed glide with time to plan and set up for a familiar airfield within glide range. An interesting debate in front of the aviation-wise judge.
