Accident Details
The pilot of a float-equipped airplane reported that during landing, the touchdown on the water was smooth. While the airplane was on step, she reduced the flaps. Immediately, the airplane suddenly veered left. The pilot applied right rudder and reduced engine power in response. Despite these actions, the left float hit the concrete shore bank. The impact caused the airplane to spin to the left, and the right wing struck the shore.
Damage
The airplane sustained substantial damage to the fuselage and both wings. Structural damage was reported, though specific components beyond the fuselage and wings were not detailed.
Pilot Report
The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation. The incident was attributed solely to the sequence of events during the landing flare and subsequent control inputs.
