Wow, excellent video. I would also mention that extra airspeed during icing adds airspeed margin between you and the rising stall speed of the iced aircraft's wing. The stall speed of an iced wing could be much higher than expected. Other than maybe mushy controls, the pilot has no way of knowing what the iced stall speed is so, yeah, keep the airspeed up, and keep your wheels close to the tarmac during the landing flare. At flare, an iced aircraft is very likely to stall abruptly and one wing will invariably drop before the other, so you don't want to be ten feet above the ground when that happens.

If you ice up your GA Airplane more than say 1/8th my advice is to point it to the closest longest runway and do a high speed straight in, no turns, land rent a car get a motel but get out of the air.

If I was landing a iced up GA airplane I wouldn't deploy the flaps at all. But thats just me.
