The story indicates that the California Highway Patrol estimated the
Bonanza's speed at 90 mph. Wouldn't the pilot have attempted to touch
down at about 50 knots? If not, why not.


The Bo won't fly that slow without power.


When I was flying early Bonanzas, I would use 80 mph as glide speed,
power off. Touchdown was about 60 mph.
