The Cessna 172 went missing during an over sea flight from Isla Mocha, Bio Bio, to Tiruá, Bio Bio, Chile, a distance of 34 km.
No flight plan was filed and the number of persons is unknown. Media reports suggest there may have been four passengers along with the pilot.
On Thursday 31 October 2013 metal debris was found that is said to correspond with the fuselage of the plane.
The plane is therefore presumed to have crashed and the occupants are presumed to have died in the crash.
A backpack belonging to a passenger onboard the aircraft was located in the area of Punta Morguilla, Bio Bio, on October 13, 2013, at about 22:30 local time.
The cause is undetermined.
