To Diamond's credit, the first "Emergency Procedures" item listed in Diamond Flight Training's published DA42NG/-VI checklist is ENGINES OUT LANDING, which does list a minimum 84 KIAS approach speed (the standard Vref approach airspeed for flaps APP or LDG). But this isn't necessarily the same as "best glide" speed to go the furthest distance to reach an airport runway:
1 Mayday call .................................... CONSIDER 1
2 Engine masters (2) ................................... OFF 2
3 Alternators (2) ......................................... OFF 3
4 Fuel pumps (2) ........................................ OFF 4
5 Fuel selectors (2) ..................................... OFF 5
6 Avionic master ......................................... OFF 6
7 Safety harnesses............. FASTENED and TIGHT 7
When sure of making landing area:
8 Flaps .......................... APP or LDG, as required 8
9 Approach speed .......................... min 84 KIAS 9
10 Power levers (2)...................................... IDLE 10
Gear UP landing After touchdown:
11 Electric master ......................................... OFF 11
Gear DOWN landing
11 Gear ..................... DOWN, 3 GREENS CHECKED 11
12 Electric master ......................................... OFF 12
