Wanted to know if you guys occasionally practice, at a safe altitude
with not too many passengers on board, stuff that *might* come in handy
should something dreadful happens

You seem to have this impression that all airplanes are like big airliners.
You have got to do some flying in a small plane to disabuse yourself of
these notions.

There are few simulators for small airplanes. Student pilots must practice,
in the air, all manner of emergencies, including engine failures.
