Read the full NTSB narrative

The pilot and co-pilot departed on an night instrument flight rules flight into IMC conditions in an airplane not certified for flight in known icing conditions. At 3000 feet, the airframe accumulated light to moderate rime ice with clear ice on the windscreen, wing leading edges, and wing struts. Because of the ice accumulation, the pilot advised the co-pilot to adjust the approach and landing speeds to avoid a stall. However, during the landing flare, the copilot encountered an inadvertent stall and subsequent hard landing. An AIRMET for icing conditions covered the area of the accident flight and called for occasional moderate rime to mixed icing in clouds and in precipitation between 3,000 and 16,000 feet.
