45 makes sense, i couldn't remember
i get the ground rush as you would be coming in at 80kts,+ low nose, rapid rate of decent and not much spare height.

ive not practiced in a moth and might just to see how much height you lose but agree its not something i'd attempt to be honest unless i knew categorically how much height was needed, then add another 100 ft for the 'oh, has the engine really stopped' thought process and another 100ft margin of error.

probably takes you to 700ft+ for most planes and landing ahead may still be better even then
