## Narrative

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

AIRMAN, EXPERIENCED A COMPLETE COMMUNICATION FAILURE ON DECENT IN TO LAKE HOOD (LHD) WATER STRIP.  THE AIRMAN COULD NEITHER RECEIVE NOR TRANSMIT.  HE CONTINUED TO FLY DIRECTLY TO THE TOWER PER THE LIGHT GUN PROCEDURES.  AIRMAN DID NOT SEE ANY SIGNS OF THE LIGHT GUN ON HIS FIRST PASS.  AIRMAN TRIED AGAIN TO SEE  THE LIGHT GUN SIGNALS. AIRMAN WAS UNABLE TO VISUALLY DETECT ANY LIGHT GUN SIGNALS FROM TOWER. AIRMAN WAS ALSO LOOKING FOR TRAFFIC AND SETTING HIMSELF UP FOR A SE ARRIVAL AFTER LOOKING AT THE WIND SOCK.  THE AIRMAN SAW THAT THE AREA WAS CLEAR AND LANDED ON THE WATER AND TAXIED IMMEDIATELY OUT OF THE MAIN CHANNEL.  ONCE THE AIRMAN SECURED THE AIRPLANE HE IMMEDIATELY CONTACTED TOWER TO REPORT THE FAILURE.

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.
