KLM Aerocarto was founded in 1921 by the KLM as "Fototechnisch Bedrijf". KLM Aerocarto started as an oblique photography company using KLM aircraft. In the early 1930s, they received their first vertical camera. The first aircraft to be designated especial for KLM Aerocarto was the Fokker F.VIIa PH-ADR (ex H-NADP; H-NADR) which was re-registered PH-OTO on 14 December 1931. KLM Aerocarto operated over the years a wide range of aeroplanes, including Pipers and Cessna's, two Pilatus PC-6 Porter, two Douglas DC-3C and a De Havilland DH.89A Dragon Rapide.

Piper Aztec PH-OTI (ex. N62832) was registered by KLM Aerocarto BV on 1 March 1977. Registration PH-OTI was cancelled on 10 January 1983. The aircraft was registered N22387 on 2 February 1983, and stayed for some time in service with KLM Aerocarto, before it was phased out. In 2004, the aircraft was still registered in the USA as N22387.
