Narrative:The float equipped Otter experienced a non- mechanical loss of engine power during climb from Nikabuna Lake. The pilot executed a forced landing on a small pond, and the airplane overran the water area into woodland and caught fire.
PROBABLE CAUSE: "Fluid, fuel starvation as a result of the pilot-in-command's improper in-flight planning/decision. A factor in the accident was the operator's inadequate flight time and fuel upload record keeping."
