Safety history

November 20, 1929AccidentHull loss
While landing in the harbor of Olbia, on a very calm sea, the seaplane landed hard, overturned and came to rest upside down off Terranova Pausania. A passenger was killed while 11 other occupants were injured. The aircraft was damaged beyond repair.
Savoia-Marchetti S.55 · 1 fatalities
The accident was caused by an optical illusion that suffered the pilot-in-command prior to landing. Due to the fact that the sea was very calm, in conjunction with the light density, the pilot misjudged the distance between the seaplane and the water surface, causing the aircraft to slam the water.
