Answers will vary by type of aircraft, since some glide better power
off than others. For my Arrow, it comes down so fast with 3 blade prop
in flat pitch and gear down that I usually carry a little power into
the flare unless it's a short runway. I have landed power off from
downwind, but it means an immediate 180 to final approach, no square
pattern.
