Narrative:
The pilot of aircraft SE-KPM was to take off from Lake Nujaure northwest of Gällivare, where he had landed two hours earlier. The wind had increased, and the waves had become higher, but he judged conditions acceptable. During taxi and throttle-up, the right float dropped into a trough while the left rode a wave crest, causing the aircraft to overturn. The pilot escaped unhurt but could not call for help due to a water-damaged mobile phone.
