The airline transport certificated pilot was departing a remote river in a float-equipped airplane to transport fishing lodge guests to a wilderness lodge. The pilot reported to the NTSB investigator-in-charge during a telephone conversation that he was departing down-river along a curved section of the river that was about 150 feet wide. During the takeoff, the airplane was on-step, accelerating toward the mouth of the river, when the floats of the airplane collided with a sand river bank, and the airplane continued onto the tidal beach area of the river. The airplane received damage to the fuselage, propeller, and the right wing. In the Pilot/Operator Aircraft Accident Report (NTSB Form 6120.1) submitted by the pilot, the pilot indicated that during the takeoff run, the aircraft would not accelerate, and he lost directional control. He reported that there was insufficient distance remaining to stop the airplane before hitting the river bank.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to abort the takeoff, which resulted in a collision with a river bank during the takeoff run.
