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 - for example, shutting off
an engine or both and trying to judge, from the aircraft's rate of
descent and distance covered between two altitudes, how far ahead it
can possibly reach before reaching the ground, etc. Just to get a
feel of things real-time.

This is required knowledge and skill, and you have to prove to the examiner
that you can do it before he will hand you your license. Actually a real
landing without power is one of the examination tasks.

Or is all of this restricted strictly to simulators?

Simulators? Who has simulators?
