The box was reported as 1500m x 3000m ? This would have been ok for aircraft doing aero displays and flypasts, but this was a water landing, ie., a circuit or a straight in. He did a circuit. A box 1500m wide itself is just about his (105kias?) base turn diameter, if so then he would have been unable to line up inside the box in a normal circuit and it didn't look like he was flying a teardrop ?
Displays are a unique set of circumstances that need everything planned.
I was watching the display, the accident aircraft appeared to be turning base for a touch and go similar to the grand caravan float plane which had just done the same.
Appeared to be stall and wing drop...
Very sad for the family and aviation community.
