Narrative:
Light agricultural seaplane capsized on Yangtze River. The pilot was rescued by a patrol boat and the aircraft was salvaged and repaired.

Type initially reported as "Y-5" and later corrected to "single-occupant JT500 amphibious small plane" by Chinese media. Probably the latter was misspelling of GT500.
