That's the final approach speed for many high performance singles. Even
the Arrow (which isn't really high performance) has a final approach
speed of something like 90mph (around 80 knots). The Bonanza manual,
IIRC recommends 80 knots for a power off landing.


POH says 78 kts for the Piper Turbo Arrow IV. (max gross wt, aft most
allowable cg)
