Approach speed and conditions

Looking at the posts, and after hearing the NTSB presser, had a few q's.

- Are the ice detector or stall ref speed switch two of the parameters recorded on the FDR?
- What are the approach speeds for no icing vs. icing conditions in this aircraft?
- Is the pitch and roll "excursion" reported by the NTSB after flaps 15 a typical indication of an icing related stall event?

Sound similar to another turboprop accident in (Ohio?) a few years ago originating at DTW that I believe was caused by a misconfigured aircraft flying too slowly in severe icing...
