Poweroff landings are part of all flight training, even for a simple flight license. Any commercial pilot can handle it adroitly.

- lutorm 17y agoIt is for single-engine licenses, I'm not entirely sure that they are for multi engine jets. Given the likelihood of an all-engine out, I'm not sure that's practiced much. They also don't practice ditching on water, for example. (And let me clarify that I'm not saying they couldn't set it down, I'm sure they can do that. I'm saying that it's not clear to me that you can easily manage energy so you end up at the end of the runway in a position to touch down at the right speed.)
