Analysis
During an IFR approach the pilot stated he picked up about 1/2 to 1 inch of ice on the leading edge of the wings after activating all icing equipment. After breaking out of the clouds the pilot descended with full flaps at 110 to 115 knots. He began to flare and noticed some mushiness and that the airspeed had dropped to 100 knots. The aircraft stalled from about 15 feet.
