Incident Overview
A pilot reported that the airplane encountered icing while flying in and out of clouds during a visual approach to an airport. Ice accumulated on the windshield, obscuring visibility. The pilot executed three approaches to the runway in an attempt to line up with the final approach path and clear ice from the windshield.
Sequence of Events
During the third approach, as the pilot flared to land, the co-pilot announced, "I have the flaps," and extended the flaps to the full position. Several seconds later, the airplane stalled at an altitude of 10 feet above the runway. The aircraft subsequently touched down hard on the runway surface.
Operational Context
The incident occurred during visual meteorological conditions, with the pilot managing icing conditions while attempting to land. The hard landing followed the stall, but no further details about aircraft damage or occupant injuries were provided in the source.
