I have suffered 2 engine failures during my flying, both as an Instructor Pilot, both in a U-1A Otter. One was empty and we simply turned and landed on the crosswind runway, the other was on a GCA, at night, with 9 passengers. I was in the right seat, which was not height adjustable, so I instructed the pilot to fly the airplane all the way to the ground, full flaps, and go between the trees if necessary. He did exactly that and the only injury was one of the passengers scraped his shin as he exited the aircraft. The landing light is out on the left wing, so we never saw the olive tree we hit with the right wing, just at touchdown and spun 90 degrees to the right tearing off the main landing gear. The point is, "FLY THE AIRPLANE ALL THE WAY TO THE GROUND!!! Everything else is secondary.
