The twin engine aircraft departed Salzburg Airport at 1242LT on a private flight to the Lake Garda (Lago di Garda). Upon landing off Manerba di Garda, the aircraft went out of control, plunged and sank. Both occupants evacuated safely while the aircraft sank by a depth of about 120 metres.

After takeoff, the aircrew flew to the southern end of Lake winnebago where they made several uneventful water landings. They estimated that the wind was from the northeast at 5 to 6 knots. The water was described as smooth with only small ripples. On the 6th approach, the gear handle was checked in the up position and the amber gear up indicator light was illuminated. The amphibious aircraft touched down on the water with no bounce or porpoise. About 2 or 3 seconds after touchdown, the aircraft yawed violently to the right and rolled left. The left float and wing tip hit the water and the left wing separated. The hull rolled over, but the occupants egresed before the aircraft sank. A diver noted that the right gear was extended. After the aircraft was recovered, the right main gear actuator rod clevis was found to have fractured. The fracture surface had signs of overload failure. The lock nut had been screwed tightly against the clevis and the lock nut threads had produced gouge marks on the unthreaded portion of the shank of the clevis.

The seaplane was completing a flight from Wenatchee to Lake Stevens, carrying three passengers and one pilot. While cruising under VFR mode into adverse weather conditions, the airplane struck the slope of a mountain and crashed in the region of Skykomish. SAR operations were initiated but eventually abandoned after few days as no trace of the aircraft nor the four occupants was found. The wreckage was discovered by walkers in an isolated area on July 20, 1979.
