## Preliminary report

On June 13, 2026, about 0924 eastern daylight time, a Scoda Aeronautica LTDA, Super Petrel XP airplane, N817PP, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident near New York, New York. The private pilot and a passenger were not injured. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight. The pilot stated that he was performing a water takeoff from the Long Island Sound between the Throggs Neck bridge and the Whitestone Bridge towards the northwest. The airplane was at about 45 knots indicated air speed when it hit a wave about 7 inches in height at about a 45 degree angle. The pilot reported that upon impact with the wave, the airplane broke apart and started to sink. The pilot and passenger inflated their life vests and were pulled out of the water a few minutes later by two individuals in a nearby boat. The fuselage was substantially damaged and was partially submerged. The wreckage was recovered and retained for further examination.
