It is clear that he did not se his altitude, a truly classic killer for float planes.
"Under calm wind conditions, the waveless water surface is perhaps the most dangerous to the seaplane pilot and requires precise piloting techniques. Glassy water presents a uniform mirror-like appearance from above, and with no other visual references from which to judge height, it can be extremely deceptive."
That was not just any Norseman; it was serial number 1, the prototype aircraft, registered CF-AYO. Crashed and burned in Algonquin Park in 1952. Subsequently salvaged. The rusty remnants are with the Canadian Bushplane Heritage Center in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, Canada. Many year ago I did the donation appraisal on it.
Instructor of that pilot is not very proud?

It's obvious he was checking her out while trying to land, but why'd they cut out the part where she laughs at him and calls him a girlyman?

The plane was not done. It takes a lot more of a bang than that to disable a Norseman.
