There were seven passengers onboard. Upon landing back at Unalaska, the SIC lost directional control of the aircraft. The left gear leg collapsed, followed by separation of a wing float, allowing the wing to make contact with the runway, resulting in substantial damage to the wing, hull bottom, and right side fuselage. There were no injuries. At the time of the accident the SIC had a total of 3.8 hrs in make & model, 3.8 hrs in the last 90 days, and only three previous landings in the aircraft. The check-airman observing the flight had a control yoke and rudder pedals but no brakes. Thus, he did not have a fully functioning set of controls.
