Makes me wonder if people really take off in 200 foot ceilings, no approach into the departure airport and one day short of being out of currency. You forgot , single engine.

I also If you are flying the ILS under those conditions in high performance you can pretty well figure you are going to land a tad short of the runway. Under any conditions, unless you are flying a glider. The glide ratio of most ga aircraft are about 10 to 1, meaning from a 2000 ft altitude at the marker, you are going to get about 20000 feet along the glidepath, or about 3.5nm. If the engine quite while coming down the ILS, my only hope would be to get the gear up. It's one of the reasons I fly instrument approaches at 120 MPH. Even at this speed, I doubt you would get there. Slowing down from 120 to best glide speed wouldn't take that long. And of course, this is assuming you lose it at the marker or inside it, a low-probability occurence, I would say. So why bother? Granted a higher airspeed gives you more kinetic energy to work with if you lose it, but it seems to me a waste of good fuel. drill the hell out of my CFII with questions.
