Narrative:The plane ditched to the waters of Saintes Bay following a loss of engine power while on approach to Les Saintes Airport (TFFS) on Terre-de-Haut Island. The three occupants survived without injury. Smoke trailed from the engine for about a mile before impact, and the plane could not maintain altitude. A sharp bank to port, flair at the last moment and the tail hit and sent the nose into the water with a big splash. The plane went vertical in the water quickly and local yacht RIBs were quickly on scene.
