However, enough information was available for the NTSB to make an estimate of the airplane’s weight at the time of the accident. The pilot’s weight was taken from his most current FAA medical examination. The weight of the front seat passenger was taken from her reported weight on her Alaska driver’s license. Weights for the rear seat passengers (girls; age 11 and 13, and boy; age 12) were estimated using the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) growth charts showing average weight by age and gender.

19. 19 Federal Aviation Administration Pre-Flight Planning by Art Telfeian and Bill Doyle 2013 - 2014 2002 Piper Cherokee 235 Mishap Highlights –Aircraft flying from Chicago (KARR) to Chester County (MQS), 626nm trip –Excerpts from NTSB Factual Report #NYC02LA155 During the flight, the pilot elected to divert to the Delaware Municipal Airport (DLZ), Delaware, Ohio, due to weather, and remained overnight. The airplane was not refueled during the layover. Approaching the area of MQS (then 40N), about 1 mile from runway 11, the engine lost all power. –The pilot attempted to enter the traffic pattern for runway 29, and while on the downwind leg, realizing that he would not be able to land on the runway, he elected to perform a forced landing into a wooded area. The wind reported at a nearby airport, about the time of the accident, were from 350 degrees at 15 knots, with gusts to 19 knots. The airplane struck several trees during the forced landing, descended to the ground, and came to rest upright, about 1/2-mile from the airport. –Both wings were separated from the fuselage during the accident sequence. Pilot seriously injured and aircraft substantially damaged
