THE PILOT FLEW A LOCALIZER/BACKCOURSE WHICH RESULTED IN A MISSED APPROACH. HE STATED HE PICKED UP A LIGHT BUILD-UP OF ICE DURING THE APPROACH BUT IT MELTED WHEN HE REACHED AN ALTITUDE OF 5,000 FEET PRIOR TO STARTING THE NEXT APPROACH. HE STATED THAT THE NEXT APPROACH WAS NORMAL UNTIL LANDING WHEN THE AIRPLANE TOUCHED DOWN HARD. THE AIRPLANE HAD 1/2' TO 3/4' OF ICE ON THE LEADING EDGE OF THE WINGS. THE PILOT STATED HE DID NOT ACTIVATE THE DEICE BOOTS DURING THE APPROACH AND THAT HE SHOULD HAVE CARRIED EXTRA SPEED DURING THE LANDING.
Probable Cause: the pilot's failure to deploy the deicing boots during the approach and the failure to maintain aircraft control during the landing. A factor related to the accident was the existing icing conditions.
