What
should you do if you lose your engine just after turning base to final?

That's going to depend on the type of landing I was planning to make. With a
normal landing, I won't have power on at that point, so let's assume I'm
dragging it in for a short field landing. Or maybe I just screwed up and I have
power on 'cause I'm a little low. If I've got flaps down, up they come. I will
lower or raise the nose as necessary to hit 83 mph (best glide). I'll reduce
that speed when I flare.

Then I will hit the cheapest and softest thing out there as slowly as I can.
