## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

(.19) ON JULY 10, 2001, ABOUT 1747 CENTRAL DAYLIGHT TIME, A CESSNA 172N, N5285E, PILOTED BY A COMMERCIAL PILOT, SUSTAINED SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE ON IMPACT WITH TERRAIN DURING A GO AROUND ON RUNWAY 1L (6,500 FEET BY 100 FEET, DRY ASPHALT) AT DUPAGE AIRPORT (DPA), NEAR WEST CHICAGO, ILLINOIS. THE INSTRUCTIONAL FLIGHT WAS OPERATING UNDER 14 CFR PART 91. VISUAL METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS PREVAILED AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT.  NO FLIGHT PLAN WAS ON FILE.  THE INSTRUCTOR PILOT AND STUDENT PILOT WERE UNINJURED.  THE LOCAL FLIGHT DEPARTED FROM DPA AT TIME UNKNOWN AND WAS PERFORMING A GO AROUND AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT.

THE SECOND PILOT ALSO ALLOWED A HIGH SINK RATE TO DEVELOP JUST BEFORE TOUCHDOWN. THE PIC FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR WAS NOT SUCCESSFUL IN RECOVERING THE EVENT AND WAS MANIPULATING THE CONTROLS WHEN THE AIRPLANE LANDED HARD, IN A CRAB, AND CAME TO REST INVERTED. BOTH OCCUPANTS EXITED THE AIRPLANE WITHOUT INJURY. THE AIRPLANE WAS SUBSTANTIALLY DAMAGED.
