## Narrative

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

NARRATIVE: DUE TO ICING CONDITIONS IN FLIGHT, THE PILOT ASKED CENTER FOR VECTORS TO THE ILS 30 APPROACH AT BKX. BECAUSE OF A STRONG TAILWIND, A CIRCLE TO LAND ON RUNWAY 12 WAS INITIATED. THE BOOTS WERE CYCLED SEVERAL TIMES PRIOR TO BEGINNING THE CIRCLING MANEUVER. WHEN BEGINNING THE LANDING FLARE AT APPROX. 15' AGL, THE RIGHT WING STALLED DUE TO ICE ACCUMULATION, CAUSING THE RIGHT WING TO DROP. A HARD LANDING ENSUED. DUE TO MAXIMUM COMPRESSION OF THE MAIN GEAR AND A NOSE DOWN ATTITUDE, THE RIGHT PROPELLER BLADE TIPS WERE CURLED AFTER COMING IN CONTACT WITH THE RUNWAY.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System.

Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
