I often simulate emergencies like that to my students.  I think it is good
practice for them to try to land the airplane on the available runway
remaining, although this can be a very dangerous exercise if the CFI doesn't
have an intimate knowledge of the airplane's performance (i.e., realizing that
too little runway remains for such an exercise).
