I based what I've said off the aircraft I've done it all in which was a piper seminole. As stated I live in the desert in texas which agreed offers complete different situations which I did not take into account for everyone else. With 180hp a side and full tanks. Under just about every situation of flight you do as I instructed. I've done it many times and at 95-103 degrees F the aircraft will not fly at the same power setting or only a few more inches of MP if you have gear down flaps down. If you don't feather you def. won't make it unless you're crossing the threshold. My mistakes were posting as if it's true for all aircraft which it isn't. I've killed an engine in the merlin and true you don't do any of that because it has enough power. You adjust for the situation. When I read the post I was assuming it was a student asking which would mean he's in a training twin which would limit it to a few and I automatically assumed it was the same conditions from which I've done it which was error on my part. However nothing about it is unsafe. The only unsafe things I've read were in your post about how you give your checkrides and the things you'd teach a student.
