The aircraft took off from Rondonópolis Airfield, MT (SWRD), with a pilot and three passengers on board, for the first check flight after the Initial Technical Inspection (VTI). After takeoff, the pilot continued to the São Lourenço River Dam in order to make a landing on the water, which was carried out without any problems. According to the pilot, when repositioning the aircraft for takeoff and making a 180º turn, the right float was hit by a wave, causing the aircraft to “roll over”, stopping in an inverted position. The pilot did not have the Technical Qualification Certificate (CHT) to perform a flight in a single-engine amphibious aircraft (MNAF). The four occupants successfully left the cabin, without suffering injuries, and positioned themselves on top of the floats, awaiting rescue. After waiting for help for some time, one of the passengers decided to swim to the edge of the dam and drowned. The aircraft sustained substantial damage after being submerged in water for 10 (ten) days. The crew member and two passengers escaped unharmed. One passenger died from drowning after the accident.
