What happened
A single-engine, tundra tire-equipped aircraft departed from a remote wilderness lodge for an on-demand air taxi flight. The departure point was located approximately 100 miles from the intended destination. The flight was operated by an airline transport certificated pilot and carried two passengers.
During the flight, the aircraft traveled over open ocean water. The airplane failed to arrive at its destination, and no wreckage has been found. Eight days after the aircraft was reported overdue, a passenger with fatal injuries was located in the ocean. The pilot and the second passenger were not located and are presumed to have sustained fatal injuries. It is presumed that the aircraft collided with the ocean.
