Narrative:The flight instructor was providing instruction to the airline transport pilot in a float-equipped airplane. During the flight instructor's demonstration of a water landing, the airplane was misaligned with the intended landing path when it impacted the water's surface. A postaccident examination revealed that the airframe was substantially damaged during the resultant hard landing.
Probable Cause: The flight instructor, while demonstrating a water landing to the pilot receiving instruction, did not maintain proper alignment with the landing surface, which resulted in a hard landing.
