From the FAA’s Accident/Incident Data System (AIDS), through its Aviation Safety Information Portal, as reported. The NTSB investigates accidents separately, and its record of an accident is the fuller one. The aircraft is matched to the registry 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.

What happened

The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.

(-23) The pilot was transporting passengers from the lower karluk river to larson bay strip. This flight is very short, less than 10 minutes. After completing several round trips, the pilot landed with the gear extended in the river. The aircraft contacted the river with wheels first. This caused the aircraft to flip and turn upside down. The pilot was the only person on board and was not injured.
