Hard landing on water, Inland Air Charters Ltd., de Havilland DHC-2 Mk. I (Beaver), C-FJOM, Kitkatla, British Columbia, 24 May 2016 .: TU3-5/16-0078E-PDF
"The Inland Air Charters Ltd. de Havilland DHC-2 Mk. I Beaver aircraft (registration C-FJOM, serial number 1024) was conducting a crosswind landing at Kitkatla Water Aerodrome, British Columbia, with the pilot and 6 passengers on board. At approximately 1440 Pacific Daylight Time, the aircraft landed on its left float with sufficient force to cause the aircraft to bounce back into the air. Its right float then struck the water, causing the float support structure to collapse. The aircraft nosed over, and water entered the cabin. All 7 occupants evacuated as the aircraft’s cabin became submerged. The aircraft came to rest close to shore, and local boaters were able to rescue the pilot and passengers immediately. One passenger sustained serious injuries, and the remaining passengers and the pilot sustained minor injuries. The aircraft was not equipped with an emergency locator transmitter. There was no post-impact fire”--Summary, t.p.
