That's an interesting way to land, but why switch off the engine? You'd get a much larger margin of error with it running. I usually do either a curved approach(as in Schröder's drawing, but only straightening out at the final moment), or a steep approch with a shallow final. Either way bringing it down with the hook down, full flaps and just above stall speed works every time.

You can also do it like this:
I've found that switching it off can help improve lining it up with the deck for a safe landing (keeps you from having to deal with ANY torque).
