Tweaking the throttle on approach

You would be very ill-advised to try and start your flight training in
a twin. There's way too much stuff to cope with when you're trying to learn
how to take off, fly s+l and land..

I've heard of other people doing it, although it seems to be rare. If that's
the aircraft I wanted to fly, wouldn't it be more practical to just start with
it to begin with?


I also forgot to mention that since vastly experienced pilots still
die from getting it wrong after an engine failure in a twin, how do
you think a newly solo student could deal with it??

From what some here have said, it sounds like a newly solo student might be
more familiar with engine-out procedures than the experienced pilot, since the
latter may not have reviewed the procedures since he got his license or
rating.

This is one of those scenarios that one cannot practically learn in real life,
anyway, because it's too dangerous. A full-motion sim is extremely useful for
this sort of thing. But most pilots don't have that, so there are probably
many who couldn't deal with an engine failure, irrespective of their other
experience.
