The privately registered Aeronca 11BCX floatplane was conducting a recreational flight under visual flight rules from Porpoise Bay (49°28.98' N, 123° 45.46' W), BC, to Skaha Lake (49° 25.2' N, 119° 35.4' W), BC, with only the pilot on
board. During cruise flight, the engine (Teledyne Continental O-200 series) RPM started to fluctuate. The pilot applied carb heat and adjusted the fuel mixture with no results. The pilot elected to make a precautionary landing at Lightning Lake (49° 03.68' N, 120° 49.87' W), BC. During the landing slide, the aircraft overran the end of the lake and collided with trees on the shoreline. The pilot was not injured. The aircraft was substantially damaged.
