The plane, carrying two licensed pilots, was on a night cross-country flight from Regina to Steinbach, Manitoba, with a planned stop in Carlyle, Saskatchewan.

The plane was reported to the Transportation Safety Board of Canada after it failed to reach its intended destination by 10:30 am Central Daylight Time (CDT).
