Narrative:
The aircraft was at 2400 ft MSL being vectored to an ILS runway 31 at peoria, il. I, the PF, diverted my attention to the PNF. He was tuning my navigation from the ILS frequency to a VOR for range awareness in the event of a missed approach. I went back to scanning the flight instruments. The airspeed was at 115-118 KIAS with the autoplt engaged. I added power just as the airframe stalled, I disconnected the autoplt. The aircraft rolled left approximately into a 30 degree bank and pitch down 30 degree altitude -- lost from 2300 ft MSL, approximately 500 ft loss of altitude, to 1700 ft MSL before I had completed the complete recovery of the stall. Flight resumed normally to a normal approach and landing. The primary job I was engaged in was to fly the airplane. The other pilot was tuning the radios. My CRM usage was poorly managed by myself. I was micromanaging the radio tuning instead of flying the airplane. I needed to review my actions and how I should utilize the PNF in relation to CRM. My future flts will include utilizing all available resources from the PNF and not micromanage his job. Pay all my attention to flying the aircraft. I initially thought my addition of power and disconnecting the autoplt aggravated the roll and pitch the aircraft down. The answer to the problem was my inattn to basic flying skills -- not flying the aircraft. I will in the future direct all my attention to flying my aircraft first, and improve my CRM application to manage my PNF or not micromanage his job and mine.

Title: B100 CAPT LOST CTL OF THE ACFT WHEN IT STALLED DURING APCH TRANSITION DUE TO DISTR OF OBSERVING THE FO SET THE MISSED APCH PROC IN THE NAVAIDS.
Narrative: THE ACFT WAS AT 2400 FT MSL BEING VECTORED TO AN ILS RWY 31 AT PEORIA, IL. I, THE PF, DIVERTED MY ATTN TO THE PNF. HE WAS TUNING MY NAV FROM THE ILS FREQ TO A VOR FOR RANGE AWARENESS IN THE EVENT OF A MISSED APCH. I WENT BACK TO SCANNING THE FLT INSTS. THE AIRSPD WAS AT 115-118 KIAS WITH THE AUTOPLT ENGAGED. I ADDED PWR JUST AS THE AIRFRAME STALLED, I DISCONNECTED THE AUTOPLT. THE ACFT ROLLED L APPROX INTO A 30 DEG BANK AND PITCH DOWN 30 DEG ALT -- LOST FROM 2300 FT MSL, APPROX 500 FT LOSS OF ALT, TO 1700 FT MSL BEFORE I HAD COMPLETED THE COMPLETE RECOVERY OF THE STALL. FLT RESUMED NORMALLY TO A NORMAL APCH AND LNDG. THE PRIMARY JOB I WAS ENGAGED IN WAS TO FLY THE AIRPLANE. THE OTHER PLT WAS TUNING THE RADIOS. MY CRM USAGE WAS POORLY MANAGED BY MYSELF. I WAS MICROMANAGING THE RADIO TUNING INSTEAD OF FLYING THE AIRPLANE. I NEEDED TO REVIEW MY ACTIONS AND HOW I SHOULD UTILIZE THE PNF IN RELATION TO CRM. MY FUTURE FLTS WILL INCLUDE UTILIZING ALL AVAILABLE RESOURCES FROM THE PNF AND NOT MICROMANAGE HIS JOB. PAY ALL MY ATTN TO FLYING THE ACFT. I INITIALLY THOUGHT MY ADDITION OF PWR AND DISCONNECTING THE AUTOPLT AGGRAVATED THE ROLL AND PITCH THE ACFT DOWN. THE ANSWER TO THE PROB WAS MY INATTN TO BASIC FLYING SKILLS -- NOT FLYING THE ACFT. I WILL IN THE FUTURE DIRECT ALL MY ATTN TO FLYING MY ACFT FIRST, AND IMPROVE MY CRM APPLICATION TO MANAGE MY PNF OR NOT MICROMANAGE HIS JOB AND MINE.
