## Narrative

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

INTENDED TO TAKE HIS ENTIRE FAMILY, ONE AT A TIME FOR A RIDE.  WHEN I ASKED ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ HOW HE RECEIVED A WEATHER BRIEFING, HE ADVISED ME THAT HE LISTENED TO THE AUTOMATED BOATING FORECAST.  THE WIND FORECAST WAS FOR LESS THAN TEN KNOTS.NEXT, ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ ASSEMBLED THE AIRCRAFT IN ABOUT 45 MINUTES.  PLACED THE VEHICLE IN THE WATER AT BEGAN TAXIING DOWNWIND, (WIND WAS FROM THE NORTHWEST), FROM TERRE VERDE.CLIMBED TO ABOUT 100 FEET….. NOTICED THE WINDS WERE HIGHER THAN FORECAST AND THE RIDE BECAME ROUGH.  THOUGHT HE WOULD TURN TOWARD THE SKYWAY, FELT "A SHOVE" FROM THE WIND, NOW BEHIND HIM.  THE TURBULENCE STARTED TO GET WORSE, DECIDED TO LAND.  LANDED DOWNWIND.  LANDED HARD AND AIRCRAFT FLIPPED OVER.  STATED HE HAD ENGINE POWER ALL THE WAY TO THE LANDING.

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.
