The data analysis for the reaction {sup 1}H(e,e{sup '}{pi}{sup +})n, which was used to determine values for the charged pion form factor F{sub {pi}} for values of Q{sup 2}= 0.6-1.6 GeV{sup 2}, has been repeated with careful inspection of all steps and special attention to systematic uncertainties. Also the method used to extract F{sub {pi}} from the measured longitudinal cross section was critically reconsidered. Final values for the separated longitudinal and transverse cross sections and the extracted values of F{sub {pi}} are presented.
