I've had more than my fair share of run ins with that flight school (and even that particular airplane). But to not think of an engine failure in a SE airplane as an emergency is bizarre... I'd consider losing an engine in the twin engine turbine airplane I fly to be an emergency (and declare it as such), even though it can can hold altitude at 18,000 ft on one engine easily!
