If the engine quit, it would probably be pretty evident by the far end of

Actually, the descent rate would be most dramatic if I kept the airspeed down.
In my aircraft, the ROD increases dramatically below 57 mph.

My best chance of making the field would be to raise the flaps, lower the nose,
and get the speed up to 80 mph.
