In addition to those great comments, there are a couple of more items
you rarely see mentioned.

Before landing, have everyone take off their headphones! People
who've been in wrecks have mentioned how much it hurt when the
earphones flew off during an abrupt stop.

I once read some study the USAF did. IIRC, it said that 45 seconds of
engine-off gliding was enough to cool down the typical single-engine
motor and exhaust to the point that fire was much less likely. I have
no idea what to do with that info, however g.
