A light plane crashed in Indonesia's easternmost province of Papua, killing its pilot, media reports said Sunday, the dpa reported.
The plane, piloted by a US national identified only as Dave with no passenger on board, was en route from Wamena to Ndundu, the state-run Antara news agency reported.
The Pilatus Porter airplane belonging to Associated Mission Aviation went down in a mountainous area in Wamena district on Saturday.
Catholic church leaders in Papua who operated the plane appealed for help from local military and police to transfer the pilot's body found at the crash site.
