GALVESTON, TX, USA
N5190E
CESSNA 180B
THE A/C WAS BEING FLOWN AT ABOUT 300 FT OVER THE BAY AND THE PILOT AND PASSENGER WERE LOOKING FOR FISH. WHEN THE PILOT MADE A TURN TO FLY IN A DOWNWIND DIRECTION THE AIRCRAFT STARTED TO STALL. THE PILOT STATED THAT HE ADVANCED THE THROTTLE BUT THE ENGINE DID NOT RESPOND. HE LOWERED THE NOSE TO REGAIN FLYING SPEED THEN FLARED SO THAT TOUCH DOWN IN THE WATER WAS IN A NORMAL LANDING ATTITUDE.
