SR22 down in Channel - N147KA

That report seems to have dealt with the incredible rumours which were going around (basically, the police were suggesting the guy faked his disappearance) but it doesn’t say very much useful – not least because they didn’t bother to retrieve the wreckage. I don’t believe the earlier story that the wreckage disappeared after the diver “accidentally” found it, or indeed that the found it accidentally.

The pre-accident track was obviously on autopilot so this looks like an autopilot failure, probably in IMC or poor vis. The pilot incapacitation theory would surely mean the aircraft would fly on until it ran out of fuel.
