## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

(-23) AFTER TAKEOFF FROM THE SEVERN RIVER, THE AIRCRAFT STARTED TO YAW TO THE LEFT. THE PILOT APPLIED RIGHT RUDDER, BUT THE YAW CONTINUED.  THE PILOT APPLIED FULL RIGHT RUDDER.  THE YAW CONTINUED AND ACCELERATED.  THE PILOT SAW HE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO CONTROL THE AIRCRAFT AND REDUCED ENGINE POWER TO IDLE.  THE AIRCRAFT IMPACTED THE WATER IN A LEFT WING LOW AND NOSE LOW ATTITUDE.  THE FLOATS SEPARATED FROM THE AIRCRAFT AFTER IMPACT WITH THE WATER.  THE BOTTOM OF THE LEFT FLOAT WAS FOUND SEPARATED FROM THE LEFT FLOAT.  THE PILOT SUSTAINED MINOR INJURIES.  THIS WAS THE PILOT'S FIRST FLIGHT OF THE YEAR.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
