EMER. OVERWT LNDG. PAX ILLNESS.

Narrative

SHORTLY AFTER TKOF; WHILE CLBING OUT OF 3000 FT WITH CLRNC TO CLB AND MAINTAIN 14000 FT; ONE OF THE PAX ON BOARD URGENTLY CLAIMED THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH HER BABY. SHE STATED THAT HER BABY WAS BLEEDING FROM ITS MOUTH AND REQUESTED THAT WE RETURN TO SBP. I THEN LOOKED AT THE BABY AND NOTICED THAT THE BABY WAS CRYING AND THAT ITS SKIN WAS VERY FLUSH/(RED). I THEN CALLED OUR OPS PERSONNEL IN SBP TO INFORM THEM THAT WE WERE RETURNING DUE TO A MEDICAL EMER. WE THEN ASKED ZLA FOR A CLRNC BACK TO SBP DUE TO A MEDICAL EMER. MY FO WHO WAS FLYING THE ACFT AT THE TIME; FELT THAT THE PRESSURE CHANGES DURING THE CLB MAY HAVE HAD AN EFFECT ON THE BABY LEVELED THE ACFT AT 4000 FT (INSTEAD OF CLBING TO 14000 FT). THE CTR CTLR IMMEDIATELY CLRED US TO THE IAF AND SHORTLY THEREAFTER CLRED US FOR THE APCH TO SBP. THE CTLR THEN ASKED US IF WE WERE DECLARING AN EMER. I REPLIED 'YES' AND ASKED THEM TO HAVE THE PARAMEDICS MEET US WHEN WE LANDED. WE THEN FLEW A NORMAL APCH AND MADE A NORMAL LNDG AT APPROX 300 POUNDS OVER OUR LNDG WT LIMIT. AFTER THE INCIDENT; I NOTIFIED OUR MAINT DEPT IN FRESNO ABOUT OUR OVERWT LNDG. MAINT THEN ASKED US IF WE FELT COMFORTABLE ABOUT FERRYING THE ACFT TO SAN FRANCISCO WHERE A REQUIRED MAINT INSPECTION WOULD TAKE PLACE ON THE ACFT. AFTER TAKING THE FOLLOWING FACTORS INTO CONSIDERATION; WE MADE A NORMAL SMOOTH LNDG; AND DUE TO THE FACT THAT OUR LNDG WT IS BASED ON AVERAGE PAX AND BAGGAGE WTS (165 POUNDS FOR PAX AND 23.5 FOR BAGGAGE) AND NOT ACTUAL WTS (SOME OF THE PAX AND BAGS WEIGHTED LESS THAN THE AVERAGE) THUS THE OVERWT FACTOR MAY HAVE BEEN LESS THAN 300 POUNDS. MAINT ASSURED ME THAT THE ACFT WAS SAFE TO FLY AND THAT THE FERRY PROC WAS LEGAL; I FELT THAT THE ACFT WAS SAFE AND LEGAL TO FLY. WE FERRIED THE ACFT TO SFO WITH NO FURTHER INCIDENT.
