I think minimum safe auto speed sounds a bit sporting! What speed are we talking about? constant attitude or min rate of descent? It's a bit academic in a single as the minute the donk quits you are no longer going to reach the destination, unlike a twin where Vtoss may well get you there.

I'd advocate the 10% of height=speed routine and suggest it if I see candidates having trouble with night deck landings. (It's not the only way, but it's predicatble and safe)
