Incident Overview
The pilot of a float-equipped airplane reported that he aborted two takeoffs to the north from a float pond after the airplane failed to become airborne at his no-go decision point. According to the pilot, the wind was variable during these attempts.
Third Takeoff Attempt
A third takeoff was initiated to the south. The airplane lifted off prior to reaching the no-go point, but the pilot stated he felt he was not going to clear the trees at the shoreline. He noted that the wind may have changed direction or quit, and the airplane was near stall airspeed.
Stall and Impact
The pilot reported that he had no option but to increase the pitch attitude, at which time the airplane stalled and impacted the pond. No further details were provided regarding injuries or damage.
Pilot Statements
The pilot indicated that the wind may have changed direction or ceased, contributing to the airplane being near stall airspeed. He believed that increasing pitch was the only remaining action, which resulted in the stall and subsequent impact with the pond.
