Narrative:The Beechcraft 200 Super King Air, N999VB, had a hard landing at the Gary/Chicago International Airport (GYY), near Gary, Indiana. The pilot and eight passengers were uninjured. The airplane sustained substantial damage during the hard landing.
Visual meteorological conditions prevailed about the time of the accident, and the flight was operating on an instrument flight rules flight plan.
The pilot indicated that the airplane encountered structural icing conditions while enroute to GYY. During the landing, the airplane landed hard. Witnesses on the ramp at GYY observed that the airplane sustained a hard landing. One witness observed that fluid was leaking from the left side of the airplane near its wheels. Additionally, he noted that there was ice on the leading edge of both wings.
PROBABLE CAUSE: "The pilot's failure to maintain the glidepath and appropriate airspeed during landing in icing conditions, which resulted in an aerodynamic stall and a hard landing."
