HE FOUND AN AREA WITH NO BOATS OR PEOPLE IN SIGHT AND SET UP TO LAND. MR.

THE PLANE STOPPED AND FLOATED INVERTED. ^PRIVACY DATA OMIT^Y

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.
