As part of my biannual review, I took off got about 550 feet up and the instructor grabbed the throttle, closed it and said "land it". No problem set up for glide and took it back to the runway. I would imagine that if you were in an area that had fields or decently straight roads with minimum power lines an airplane would be easier to land without power.
