Interesting and sobering observation from the student pilot quote you posted. The only personal experience I can add from having a fair amount of T-210 time is that when power is lost, the thing drops nearly like a rock. Practicing forced landings from the pattern, even turning towards the runway abeam the approach end, it was coming down quick.

And fully agree with your above sentiment Matt.
