Read the full NTSB narrative

The airplane with a certificated airline transport pilot and two passengers aboard departed on a US Department of the Interior, public use flight over the Arctic Ocean. The purpose of the flight was to locate radio collared polar bears. Radar contact with the airplane was lost while it was maneuvering at 22,000 feet msl about 200 miles from shore. The airplane did not reach the intended destination, and neither the airplane nor its occupants were located during an extensive search.
