Divers have completed search and recovery operations at the site of Saturday night’s small plane crash off the coast of Venice, approximately 1/3 of a mile west offshore.
After consultation with the U.S. Coast Guard, the search for the missing male pilot, Christian Kath, has been discontinued at this time. The possible parameters of the search area exceed over 2,000 square nautical miles. Family members have been notified.
Boaters from Sarasota Bay south to Gasparilla are reminded to be aware of the possibility of sighting remains or small aircraft debris. Boaters who observe anything should immediately contact the Coast Guard using marine radio on channel 16.
