An amateur-built Foster 001 (modified Republic Seabee) aircraft in private operation was on a visual flight rules flight from the Saint-Hyacinthe (CSU3) to Lake Massawippi, QC with 1 pilot on board. The pilot began his final descent over Lake Magog, QC, and then landed facing the wind in a southeasterly direction in the northern portion of Lake Massawippi.

He suffered minor injuries. The aircraft sustained substantial damage and sank within one minute of the rollover and would be in 96 feet of water. No emergency locator transmitter (ELT) signal was heard.
