AFTER ATTEMPTING TO USE FULL WINDSHIELD DEFROST HEAT AND FALSELY ASSUMING THAT PROP DEICING FLUID WOULD SHED THE ICE, THE PILOT LOST ALL FORWARD VISIBILITY. THE PILOT CONTINUED THE APPROACH USING AVAILABLE AIRCRAFT INSTRUMENTATION AND LANDED HARD ON THE RUNWAY CAUSING SIGNIFICANT PROPELLER DAMAGE. THE PILOT STATED HE HAD DEPART THE COCKPIT TO SCRAPE A HOLE IN THE ICE ON THE WINDSCREEN BEFORE TAXIING TO THE FBO RAMP.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
