Accident Details
After landing on glassy water in calm wind conditions, the student pilot lost directional control of the floatplane, causing it to veer toward the shoreline. To prevent the aircraft from running aground, the flight instructor made an abrupt rudder pedal input. This action resulted in the aircraft waterlooping.
Pilot Experience
The flight instructor was recently certificated and had accumulated 14 hours of flight instruction experience, of which 6 hours were in floatplanes. The student pilot was performing his first floatplane landing when the accident occurred.
The accident sequence involved a loss of directional control during a glassy water landing, followed by an evasive maneuver that led to a waterloop. No other details about the aircraft or location were provided in the source.
