Weight and Balance were not issues.
These numbers seem wildly off. Max ramp weight for a 12/45 is 9965. As equipped empty weights are typically around 6600. This leaves 3365 useful load (including fuel). 300 gal of fuel = 2010, leaving 1355 payload. If 960 lbs of baggage, then crew+pax load could be no more than 395 - roughly two standard adults and one small child. The baggage area is certified for no more than 400 lbs - where are you going to put the other 560 lbs with 14 people on board? While a reasonable estimation of weight can be made, without knowing something about load distribution, one cant really conclude that the acft is within CG limits. Check again.
