On January 1, 2001, at 1740 central standard time, a Cessna 172N, N737WQ, operated by a private pilot, was substantially damaged when it struck a snow bank and nosed over during a practice landing and takeoff, from runway 03 (4000 feet by 75 feet, dry asphalt) at the Lincoln-Logan County Airport, Lincoln, Illinois. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time of the accident. The personal flight was being conducted under the provisions of 14 CFR Part 91. There was no flight plan filed. The pilot and passenger on board the airplane reported no injuries. The local flight originated at Springfield, Illinois, at 1715. In his written statement, the pilot said that he performed a normal approach to runway 03. He said that approximately 800 feet from the runway's threshold, the airplane bounced and floated for about 200 feet. "We settled back onto the runway and started the rollout. I feared not having enough runway and raised the flaps and applied full power. The airplane lifted and came back down to the runway and began to veer to the right. The aircraft did not respond to control input and plowed into snow, nosed over and came to rest upside down." A Federal Aviation Administration inspector examined the airplane at the Lincoln-Logan County Airport. The airplane was found resting inverted in a snow-covered field, off the right side of runway 03, approximately half-way down the runway. The airplane's nose gear was broken off. The cowling, engine mounts and firewall were crushed inward and bent aft and upward. Both wings were bent downward, outboard of the wing struts. The airplane's vertical stabilizer and rudder were crushed downward. The propeller was torsionally bent and showed chordwise scratches. Flight control continuity was confirmed. An examination of the engine, engine controls, and other airplane systems revealed no anomalies.
