Ghost plane? 😕
OE-FGR #440A99 is currently way further than its Cologne, Germany destination and has reportedly no crew visible in the cabin (per Dagens Nyheter - Swedish news).
Breaking: significant drop in speed for OE-FGR.
(Per @ADSBexchange)
Altitude maintained level through the speed drop for a few moments. Autopilot must be engaged and would then try to maintain altitude despite drop in speed and would essentially stall.
Now even and gradual turn to the right. This does not seem to indicate a controlled turn.
OE-FGR turned again (2D) to the left and has since lost coverage. Its last position was about 25 miles NW of Ventspils. It is likely down now.
There are reportedly four people aboard. Pray for them and their families.

Just FYI, if you see this Nordic Unmanned drone circling north of the suspected crash site of OE-FGR, it is something I coincidentally covered the other day and is not involved in the SAR.
Ships now involved in the SAR of OE-FGR.
