Apologies for not answering your question.
It will always be less than you think! An engine failure at any given height will
not automatically give you the published maximum distance to find a landing
site. Having flown helicopters which pretty well go to the place almost directly
under your feet when looking out of the cockpit and also having had several
engine failures over the years I would not consider looking at the altimeter
and think "Oh, 4,000 I should be able to g X miles from here." There are too
many variables out there the will come into play.
I once had an engine stop on finals to Shobdon in a Bonanza and although I could
see the runway less than 2 miles away from 1500 feet I just picked a field close
by and went there and landed with practically no damage save for some barbed
wire scratches to the wings when I went through a fence.
I don't think I would have made the runway tempting as it was.

Hi Group
I spoke with Bud and sanded down lift pins, flap drive pins and spar pins. I started
with 500 grit and worked up to 3,000 grit, then buffed with white compound.
The finish on a number of pins was less than beautiful when I began. I chamfered
lift pin sockets with a 100 degree countersink then rounded with 240 grit
sandpaper. Also lightly greased all with #22. I checked all my guides and ramps
for spars and all seemed OK. Rigging today went easy. I think my problem
was poor finish on lift pins and wax doesn't work as well as grease. Ron P.
