Probable cause
Improper planning/decision by the pilot & his failure to attain adequate speed to fly. The terrain (bank) was a contributing factor.
Sequence of events
NTSB’s coding before 2008: each occurrence and phase of flight, and the causes and factors under it. The codes are defined in NTSB’s coding manual.
Analysis
The floatplane plt had landed on a lake to 'pickup' two fishermen. He stated that drg a subsequent takeoff, the takeoff run was normal onto the step. At the decision point, he believed the acft would fly, so he contd the takeoff run; however, the acft did not lift-off. Subsequently, it struck a bank & nosed over.
