Read the full NTSB narrative
WHILE ON THE RETURN LEG OF A LOCAL FLIGHT, THE PILOT WAS FLYING AT 150' ABOVE THE WATER ALONG THE SHORELINE. THE PILOT'S ATTENTION WAS DIVERTED FROM THE TASK OF FLYING THE AIRPLANE BY NAVIGATION DUTIES (THE FREQUENCY, AND ADJUSTMENT, AND TUNING OF THE VOR), AND SUFFICIENT VISUAL LOOKOUT WAS NOT MAINTAINED. THE AIRCRAFT ENTERED AN UNNOTICED GRADUAL DESCENT, STRUCK THE WATER AND SANK.
