A Cessna 310C, N1812H, operated by the chief pilot of Pan Alaska Airways, departed from Anchorage International Airport, Alaska, at 08:59. Three passengers, including two United States Congressmen, were aboard.
At 0909, the pilot of N1812H filed a Visual Flight Rules flight plan with the Anchorage Flight Service Station.
He stated that he had departed Anchorage at 0900 and that his intended route of flight was via the V-317 airway to Yakutat, thence direct to his destination, Juneau International Airport, Alaska. He estimated his flying time en route at 3 hours and 30 minutes.
At 1315, the U.S. Air Force Rescue Coordination Center at Elmendorf Air Force Base, Alaska, received notification that N1812H was overdue at Juneau. An intensive search of areas along the proposed route and all probable alternate routes was conducted during the following 5-1/2 weeks. Nothing was found that could be identified with either the aircraft or its occupants.
The weather conditions along the proposed route from Anchorage to Juneau were not conducive to flight under Visual Flight Rules.
All four occupants were declared deceased on 29 December 1972.
The National Transportation Safety Board is unable to determine the probable cause of this accident from the evidence presently available.
