Using mainly Lyapunov Characteristic Indicators, the stochasticity of the orbit of the asteroid 1989 AC has been investigated in the framework of three-body, five-body and seven-body restricted models. From our first results, the orbit of 1989 AC has been found fairly chaotic, through an interplay of the 3/1 resonance with Jupiter and close approaches with the inner planets.
