A Quad City Challenger II equipped with wheels, took off from Guelph, Ontario (CNC4) for a local flight. While airborne, the pilot suddenly heard a loud noise emanating from the engine, which was followed by a loss of power. At that moment, the aircraft was flying over Lake Belwood, near Fergus, Ontario, at an altitude of approximately 900 feet AGL. Consequently, the pilot made a forced landing on the water. Shortly after touching down, the aircraft began to sink. The pilot egressed the aircraft and was later rescued by local residents. The pilot sustained only minor injuries and was taken to the hospital for evaluation.
