After departure, no further communication was received from the pilot.

The wreckage of the airplane was subsequently located within one quarter of a mile of its intended destination, Little Heart Lake. The wreckage site was situated just to the southeast of the lake's shoreline.
Investigation Findings
During the on-scene investigation, no mechanical irregularities were discovered. The wreckage site was surrounded by trees and alder shrubs, which showed no signs of impact or branch breakage. The aircraft came to rest in a near-vertical attitude.
