Pre-takeoff checklist
The Baron's (B58's) max gear extension speed is just about 155 knots, if I remember correctly -
it's been years since I've flown one. If it's not that exactly, it's very close to that - 152 maybe.
If the Baron pilot was doing a high-speed pass, he should have been at pattern
altitude for twins - which is 1,500' AGL. Going down low at that high rate of
speed makes no sense - it's not only idiotic, it's fatally dangerous!
This accident was a Cessna C340 and has a gear extension speed of 140 knots
