The twin-engine turboprop jet was heading from Mexico to Costa Rica on Friday when it disappeared from the air control radar. Rescue crews were able to locate the plane early on Saturday about 28 kilometers from Costa Rica's Limon Airport. Debris from the aircraft and backpacks have been recovered by the coastguard. The eight-seater jet was built in 2009 and Schaller bought it in 2019. Flight safety adviser Arthur Bayuk believes the pilot may have become "overwhelmed" as commercial flights have two people at the controls. He told BILD: "The aircraft has an excellent safety record. "The initial descent was controlled. Later, the individual pilot was probably overwhelmed." Schaller was pals with former boxing star Vitali Klitschko, who now serves as the Major of Kyiv, Ukraine's capital. The pair were friends for two decades and had visited Vitali, 51, and his brother Wladimir in war-torn Ukraine just this month. Vitali and Wladimir became advertising stars for McFit in 2008.
