What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) On January 3, 2005 the pilot privacy data omitted a private pilot, was acting as pilot in command of N310RA, a 1965 Cessna 310-J aircraft. One passenger accompanied the pilot privacy data omitted on this flight from auburn, Washington to Davenport, Washington. This particular flight was conducted under an instrument flight plan. According to the pilot's statement, he obtained a VFR on top clearance until he had to obtain an IFR clearance to descend below 7,500 MSL into IMC conditions. He then stated he was then cleared direct to the geg VOR and expect the ILS rwy 3 approach into spokane international airport. During his descent the aircraft experienced "light mixed icing" until the aircraft reached 4,000 feet MSL. In addition, the pilot privacy data omitted stated the aircraft's deicing systems were operational (boot, props, & hot windshield). After descending to VMC conditions he cancelled his IFR clearance and proceeded to the Davenport, WA airport (S68) VFR. The pilot privacy data omitted also noted that he activated the deice systems on the downwind leg of the Davenport Airport's traffic patter. The Cessna 310 aircraft stalled upon landing resulting in substantial damage to the ai rcraft. The aircraft received substantial damage to include two bent props, and a bent left wing inboard of the engine nacelle. The pilot and passenger reported no injuries. Nothing follows.
