## Narrative

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

WHILE TAXIING THE RIGHT FLOAT FILLED WITH WATER AND SUNK TILTING THE AIRCRAFT ALLOWING THE RIGHT WINGTIP TO SUBMERGE IN THE WATER.  PILOT AND PASSENGER HAD NO INJURIES AND WERE ASSISTED BY AIRPORT POLICE AND LOCAL VOLUNTEERS.  DAMAGE TO AIRCRAFT IS FLOAT, FLOAT RUDDER AND AIRFRAME TAIL RUDDER.

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.
