The crew departed Atkinson Airfield in Georgetown, Guyana, at 1036LT, on a ferry flight to Belém. The airplane was last seen at 1310LT by a US pilot. As it failed to arrive at destination, SAR operations were initiated but eventually suspended on February 5 as no trace of the airplane nor the crew was found. It is believed that the airplane may crash around 1315LT in a jungle located near Macapá, State of Amapá.
