Flight Aware: https://flightaware.com/live/flight/N325JKGULF OF MEXICO - The FAA says a single-engine plane lost out of Oklahoma City was last tracked in the Gulf of Mexico; U.S. Coast Guard confirms it has sent out aircraft to do a search 150 nautical miles off the coast.
The Coast Guard received a report of an unresponsive pilot from the plane, which had a tail number of N325JK. The plane, a model SR22T fixed winged single-engine, was scheduled to arrive at Georgetown Municipal Airport earlier Wednesday after taking off from Oklahoma City's Wiley Post Airport at 2:19 p.m.
The Coast Guard said it is searching due south of the gulf coast town of Freeport, Texas, which is an hour south of Houston.
The FAA reports that the plane, a five-seater, left Wiley Post on Wednesday afternoon and the pilot filed a flight plan to Georgetown, Texas. The pilot did not land in Georgetown, however, but continued on the same course. The pilot was unresponsive to traffic control instructions at this point, the FAA said.
The lost aircraft was last observed on radar about 219 miles northwest of Cancun at 15,000 feet and heading into the Gulf of Mexico, according to the FAA report.
The plane is registered to Abide Aviation LLC out of Edmond.
Looks like either a medical incident or he forgot to arm the oxygen. Rumors say he was intercepted and the intercepting aircraft was unable to get any response from the pilot. Sad.
