9 passenger seats, plus copilot seat suitable for a passenger. One out of the 14 was 1 year old, so you are left with 13 adults and big children for a plane equipped for 11 of those. 2 of those big children were 3, and the other 4 children were 4, 5, 7 and 9.

However.. considering that there were 14 people on board, and that they probably had substantial cargo (ski trip)... this has CoG written all over it.
