The NTSB's narrative final · quoted from the NTSB record
The pilot in the amphibious airplane reported that, he was going to land on the runway. During the approach he slowed too much, and the airplane bounced during the landing. The pilot elected to go around but retracted the landing gear before applying power. The airplane subsequently settled to the runway with the landing gear retracted. The keel of the amphibious airplane was substantially damaged. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.

About this page
Everything above comes from the NTSB's public accident database: the narrative, probable cause and findings are the NTSB's own words, and the coded tables behind its report (pilot, aircraft, flight, weather, injuries, sequence of events) are written out in plain English. Pilots' ages, home towns and medical details are left out on purpose. The docket at the NTSB holds the report as a PDF and the investigation's photographs and documents. This site never names pilots, passengers or anyone else involved. A preliminary report describes what is known soon after the event and can change; the final report, with the probable cause, usually follows one to two years later and this page is refreshed when it does. Case number WPR22LA327.
