AVGH, why 70 knots in the glide? Why not 40 with full flaps?

On speaking to the press: Why do that in the first place? At the very least it comes across as wanting the limelight.

I'm glad you survived and didn't hurt anyone on the ground, sounds to me you should have diverted much sooner to a different airfield considering your own statement about remaining fuel. At the very least that is an error on your side and a grave one, it's called get-home-itis and is the most common reason for people getting killed in planes. Read the mags and you'll know.
