What happened
During an en route flight, the crew faced deteriorating weather conditions. In response to these circumstances, the pilot attempted to lower the aircraft's altitude with the intention of making a landing. The specific sequence of events leading to the loss of control remains unclear. However, the seaplane subsequently went out of control and impacted the water surface in the sea off the Aleutian Islands.
Findings
The accident resulted in fatal consequences for everyone on board. All seven crew members were killed in the crash. No specific contributing factors or technical conclusions beyond the loss of control during the descent are detailed in the available records.
