Accident: Rivers Inlet, BC. 20-May-2010. The aircraft was landing at Rivers Inlet, BC, after a flight from Coal Harbour, BC. When the aircraft was about 5ft above the water, a gust of wind caused the right wing tip and the right float to touch the water; the aircraft cartwheeled and overturned. The pilot, who was the sole occupant on board the aircraft, was not injured. He exited from the aircraft and remained on a float until rescued. The substantially damaged aircraft was towed towards the River Inlet dock but sank in 160ft of water. The emergency locator transmitter(ELT) was not activated, but the tracking system alerted the operator’s dispatch. The pilot was wearing both a shoulder harness and a life jacket.TSB File A10P0133.

Note: Aircraft recovered and rebuilt by Sealand Aviation Ltd., Campbell River, BC during summer 2010.
