After quite a few comments telling me I was wrong when I said that a plane at idle (like in a simulated engine out) glides better than a plane with the propeller stopped in an actual engine out, including a few alongs the lines of "I asked both of my instructors and they both said an idling engine creates more drag." Well, at least in my plane after testing both scenarios, your flight instructor was wrong! Obviously it may vary depending on type of aircraft, motor, and propeller but in our case a simulated engine out will give a better glide ratio than a real engine out scenario.
