The TSB said the shallowness of the water on the sandbar helped save the occupants’ lives and gave them time to get out of the aircraft
Nuu-chah-nulth Tribal Council president Judith Sayers, who was on the plane for the planned flight to Hot Springs Cove, said later she was hanging upside-down with her head underwater after the crash and was pulled to safety by her son, Cole Sayers.
When the path cleared, a boat’s wake slowed the plane’s takeoff run, prompting the pilot to try to gain distance with a right turn on the surface of the water. “As the aircraft became airborne at a low airspeed and in a right turn, the left wing stalled aerodynamically at too low an altitude for control to be regained before the wing contacted the water,” the report said.
