Air, land and sea operations continue to be undertaken to try to locate a Brazilian-registered plane that disappeared in Argentina last Wednesday (6th).
The aircraft was traveling from El Calafate airport, in the extreme south of Argentina, to Trelew, in Patagonia, when it lost contact with the radars. According to the Argentinean Air Navigation Company (Eana), the federal organization that controls air traffic in the country, the last contact of the plane, registered as PP-ZRT, was made with the Control Center of the Comodoro Rivadavia Area, which activated the search and rescue.
The efforts are being made by aircraft from the Army, Air Force, as well as vessels from the Navy and Naval Prefecture of the neighboring country, in addition to Civil Defense. Despite favorable weather conditions in recent days, no trace of the missing plane has been found so far. This Saturday (9) is the fourth day of searches.
The report consulted the registration number of the aircraft on the platform of the National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC). The plane is the RV-10 model, a single-engine aircraft with capacity for four passengers, manufactured in 2016. It is registered in the name of businessman Antônio Carlos de Castro Ramos, from Florianópolis. He owns ACCR Construções. Currently, the aircraft’s operating status prohibits air taxi activity.
There is still no official confirmation about the occupants of the missing plane, but preliminary information shows that the businessman and at least two friends were on the flight.
