Read the full NTSB narrative

The pilot of the amphibious airplane reported that while landing on a lake he heard a large noise just after touching down. After water began to enter the cockpit, the pilot shut down the airplane and he and his passenger evacuated. Postaccident examination of the airplane revealed substantial damage to the bottom of the fuselage/hull consistent with a collision with a submerged object. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
