This aircraft was flying in company with an aircraft of the same type. Northwest of Napier the pilots found the intended route obscured by rain cloud. The pilot of this aircraft elected to fly over the cloud, while the other decided to wait for an improvement in the weather. The last transmission heard from ZK-PTS was to report position, 5800 feet on the 283 radial from Napier. A search helicopter found the wreckage later in the afternoon, on a ridge in the Kaweka Range at an elevation of 2900 feet.
