Where is the wisdom of loading Five 200 lb.+ men in a Bonanza and attempting to navigate over the top of a 4,000+ FT. high mountain???
I just responded to this issue on another thread. Just a rough weight calculation reveals that this plane was dangerously overloaded which would throw it's center of gravity way off. You would think that a pilot with the money to own and fly a plane that complex wouldn't make such a bonehead error. The redundant system that seemed to have not been compensated for was the pilots own complacency in ignoring the paperwork.
