## Narrative

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

(-23) DURING HIGH SPEED WATER TAXI, AIRCRAFT CLIMBED TO 40 FEET, WITH THE USE OF RUDDER "ONLY" AIRCRAFT TURNED LEFT BUT WOULD NOT TURN RIGHT. PILOT WAS UNABLE TO RECOVER FROM LEFT BANK AND AIRCRAFT IMPACTED THE WATER.  ARICRAFT DAMAGE CONSISTED OF IMPACT DAMAGE TO BOTH FLOATS, PROPELLER STRIKE DAMAGE, AND DAMAGE TO LANDING GEAR STRUTS.  FUSELAGE DAMAGE RESULTED FROM EXTRACTION OF AIRCRAFT FROM WATER.

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.
