What happened
The pilot-in-command provided a detailed account of the accident sequence while operating an aircraft on a body of water. At the time of the event, the pilot reported that crosswind conditions were not strong, suggesting relatively benign weather for a water landing.
Upon touchdown, the left wing of the aircraft contacted the water surface. This contact caused the aircraft to spin around and subsequently overturn. The pilot confirmed that no aircraft component malfunction or failure occurred during the event.
The investigation
The investigation focused on the pilot's report and the physical evidence at the scene. The pilot stated that he was landing south on the lake and that the crosswind conditions were not strong. Upon landing the left wing contacted the water and the aircraft spun around and then overturned. The pilot also confirmed no aircraft component malfunction or failure during the event.
