I think this one qualifies as the ditching of the day; didn't even appear to get his feet wet.

The reason the pilot isn't wet and doesn't have a life jacket on is that the aircraft is sitting on the bottom. The waters off Cedar Keys Florida are very shallow.

We completely missed seeing an aircraft crash nearby on a perfectly clear and calm day, then happened to accidently come across it, and were able to get close enough to pull the pilot who had rescued himself on to our boat.
The situational awareness and quick actions of the Marine Interdiction Agents and Sheriff's Deputies prevented a possible human tragedy," said Michael Matthies, Deputy Director of Marine Operations. "We are thankful we have the proper resources and trained personnel to perform when incidents like this present themselves.

Pilots often forget to check the chemtrail flux meter in flight. It really ought to be emphasized more in training.

Now that the finest “Aviation Experts” in Australia (Except GT) have suggested the most likely cause of this event I was wondering if those in charge have been able to download the contents of the “Black Boxes” from the aircraft. This would help stop the speculation and the media could report the actual cause.
Cheers, Oods.

‘Oodna’, I’m surprised that your unaware that the black box has in fact been analysed at the ATSB’s Oodnadatta depot. It’s probably sitting on a bench just round the corner from your place.

Geez Megle2, I dropped the ball on that one. Not many corners around here but I know where you mean.
I was distracted trying to figure out why a WA couple got bogged in the Simpson Desert.
The Oodnadatta refueller can give you the full story.

This was a turboencabulator failure, without doubt. Usually it's fretting on the prefabulated amulite base.
Unlike the pilot who probably did a weather check before flight, the Simpson campervanner obviously did not.
Bit of a transcontinental shift in thread … from surf to sand. Van recoverable, Tobago beyond it.

The Simpson campervanners admitted to "pressonitis" due to having insufficient fuel to return to their point of departure. That would never happen in GA.

Simply, the modern replacements are not up to the standard of the original General Electric versions.
I've attached a data sheet which highlights the high quality units that we once enjoyed. Sadly, not everything new is better.

"According to the ABC, this is a five seat military trainer.
I'm sure Geoffrey Thomas will be able to tell us exactly what happened, though I suspect a faulty flux capacitor."
