Bill,
 
Maybe I’m just a lucky guy but I regularly practice power off approaches from 800 ft AGL on downwind abeam the numbers in both our 320 and our IV.  It CAN be done safely and consistently.  Training and practice are the keys.

Robert,

 

You should try it under conditions that are more likely to be the case. 

 

Descend to pattern altitude, 1000 ft AGL, slow to pattern speed, and idle the engine abeam the numbers and see if you can make it

 

I recommend you idle the engine and not kill it, because I would be surprised if you do make it.  I also don’t recommend you coarse pitch the prop since you may need to add power for the go around.

 

Bill
