A float-equipped, DHC-3 Otter airplane, N560TR, sustained substantial damage when it was involved in an accident near Bettles,
Alaska. The pilot and two passengers were not injured.
The pilot reported that while on a base leg approach to land at a remote lake, there was a "loud bang", and the engine lost all power. Unable to reach the intended lake, he turned the airplane into the wind and selected an area of tundra-covered terrain as an emergency, forced landing site. Subsequently, during the forced landing, the airplane sustained substantial damage to the fuselage.
Probable cause: "The seizure of the engine during flight for undetermined reasons, which led to a total loss of engine power."
