NTSB Accident Report

"The night of the accident, the pilot stated that he overloaded the airplane with moose meat and
was forced to land after takeoff; he later stated that he did not know what caused the lack of
climb performance, but “maybe it was a lack of engine power.” Additionally, he reported that
he estimated the meat’s weight without weighing it, but he was confident that, including the
load, the airplane’s takeoff weight was within the maximum gross weight limit, which was
1,760 lbs. The investigation was unable to determine the actual takeoff weight of the airplane
due to the remote location of the accident and inaccessibility of the evidence."
