Every chance, Bob. Back in the '60s when I did my primary training it was
quite common for the instructor to pull the plug over the airport and have
you "make" the field. The prop on the 0-200 150 stopped at best glide
speed.

In the O-300 172 I took into the bridge at Grass Valley with dual mag
failure, the prop stopped at best glide speed.

In the O-470 182 I put onto the dragstrip at Hanna with a blown jug, the
prop stopped at best glide speed.

Sorry, them's the facts.

Jim

Unmitigated bushwa. Most aircraft engines (fixed pitch & CS prop)
will stop the prop at normal glide speeds.

Not a chance Jim... In every Cessna, Piper, and Beech that I have
used for instruction, I would have to slow to nearly stall in order
to stop the prop. And yes, I did do fuel shut-off demonstations
for all of my students. 3-4,000' over the airport of course. :-)
