What happened
The incident occurred during a landing phase near Skerjafjördur, located in the Reykjavik area. Upon touching down on the water, the floatplane sustained structural damage. To mitigate the risk of the aircraft sinking due to the compromised hull integrity, the pilot maneuvered the plane onto the nearby beach. This action stranded the aircraft on land but successfully prevented it from submerging.
Following the event, the operator assessed the extent of the damage and determined that the airframe was beyond economical repair. Consequently, the aircraft was officially written off. Throughout the sequence of events, including the initial impact and the subsequent beaching maneuver, there were no injuries reported among the crew members.
