28 Dec 2023: PROGRESSIVE AERODYNE INC SEAREY LSA — Lake Havasu, CA

Probable cause

The pilot’s failure to confirm the landing gear was configured for a water landing during the approach. Contributing to the accident was the pilot’s deviation from the airplanes operating procedures by previously pulling the landing gear circuit breakers, which resulted in the landing gear not retracting when commanded during takeoff.
