It was reported that a brand new A2C seaplane climbed to approximately 10 m, suddenly emitted a sound, and then descended until hitting the surface of lake. The aircraft was damaged beyond economic repair. The pilot was unable to unfasten the seatbelt and drowned.
Affairs pertaining to the actual cause and compensation of the accident have not been resolved at least until 2013. Manufacturer of the crashed aircraft proposed two hypotheses explaining the accident: (1) the pilot pulled the yoke overmuch, causing a stall; (2) the pilot's helmet detached and collided with the propellor, after which the pilot handled the situation inappropriately.
