Questions for mei\'s
What is the best way to fail a student's engine, just using the mixtures? If the engine is warm, do you just pull the throttles instead? I know the fuel selectors are an option too. And do most of you feel comfortable about completely shutting off an engine and feathering the prop for a student? I've met some instructors who don't like to feather the prop, although I think it seems fine if you have enough altitude and are close to an airport.
