If an engine quits:
If at all possible, avoid turning toward a dead engine. Left engine dead = don't turn left. Avoid a go-around on landing if an engine is out also and keep speed up until runway is assured. Having to speed back up is risky. Engine out? Speed is your friend. Easier to lose it than it is to get it back.
Thats funny because every time I go to recurrent flight training they make use do just the opposite

And you know that in a training environment is where you stress WORST CASE scenarios. I've got a MEL ticket too chopper and you don't push it with PAX on board with an engine actually out do you? You train for the worst and hope for the best. Nothings much more fun than an engine out and the "good" engine is on fire right at liftoff.
