On final approach, during the last segment, the twin engine aircraft stalled and hit the runway surface. Upon impact, the undercarriage were sheared off and the aircraft slid on its belly for several yards before coming to rest. The pilot was unhurt while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair, and Struck Off Charge
