G’day mate - please review the analysis posted by “piperdriver”
It affirms my initial observation.

Watching the take-off video makes me cringe.

This should be used in all floatplane training seminars going forward.

Pretty cut and dried as to what happened.

Scooting right along for a Beaver..
Slight left crosswind..
seemed to use allot of water
I wonder what the position of the flaps were?

His obituary is out. His family will have their reasons for not releasing it. It will be out shortly. I'm sure many know the reason and have had the good judgment to not start tongues wagging before anyone actually knows what happened. Be one of those people. Is there a link to the obituary? There ...

I am hearing that it was the Yellowknife based PC-12. Only the pilot on board and she is ok. As to what happened - not much is being said. Sounds like maybe a departure, some sort of failure, and a return to landing that went wrong. The aircraft is destroyed, ended up on its back with the wings and ...

Condolences.

You might want to consider doing a medical a bit early (whilst you are still 59) to get a last 12 month validity date. Whether that is worth it or not depends on when your birthday is.

It's the classical debate between "the validity period is determined by the age of te holder at the time of the medical" vs "the validity period is determined by the age of the holder at the time of the flight". Yes that is the exact reason I was asking. I have been told, by other pilots, I am good...

Hi..
