Taking off with your wife and daughter would have to be pretty high on the
list:

The plane was a '59 145hp 172. DA would have been around 3,500. You can
draw your own conclusions.


Not much there to draw any conclusion from, beyond the assertion about the
certificate issue. There was plenty of runway for the conditions; so if
the fuel was good, the prop was not repitched for some special purpose, and
the engine continued to run correctly we would all have none the wiser.

And yes, am familiar with the model and vintage, although not the same tail
number.
