The aircraft was making a ditch landing in the sea with the intention of taking on water when the crew lost control of the aircraft. As a result, the aircraft became semi-submerged and inverted in the water. The crew was rescued by a nearby boat and was unharmed. The aircraft was recovered by a crane on a floating platform and returned to service.
