Factual narrative

THE ACFT ENTERED AN AREA OF ICING AND DID NOT NOTIFY THE ATC CENTER OF THE ICING PROBLEM. ALTHOUGH AN EMERGENCY WAS NOT DECLARED THE PLT DID SAY HE COULD NOT CLIMB TO AN ASSIGNED ALT AFTER DESCENDING TO TRY AND LOSE ICE ACCUMULATION. DURING THE LANDING THE ACFT STALLED DURING A HIGH FLARE (15 FT) AND THE ACFT MADE A HARD LANDING FOLLOWED BY A GROUNDLOOP.
