I'm with GLS on this one.
Steep is good, shallow is bad.
You really need to have your rate of decent and airspeed under control for the nil wind, hot approach. Otherwise it is not the engine failure but the crane at the end of the deck that smokes you.
Post your committed point you want to guarantee to land on the deck and not the kitchen.
I also sit high and use the pitot's as a lead on the 76. Its worked perfectly for the last 4000 odd offshore and onshore landings.

Plan to arrive alive
