Does anyone know if some of the Caravan icing accidents have been due to tailplane stall? From the reports I've read I could not determine whether it was ice induced wing stalls or tailplane stalls that made some of the naircraft fall out of the sky. Recovery procedures are vastly different.

What I am trying to find out is whether tailplane stalls are realistic reasons why some Caravans have crashed or if wing stalls are more likely in this case?

Perhaps the answer is obvious, if so excuse my ignorance.
