Narrative:
We were cleared for a visual approach to runway 29. I used the flight spoilers in the descent and forgot to retract them. I was distraction looking for the airport and did not notice the stall tape coming up on the speed tape. When I turned base, I got the stick shaker. I added power and the first officer retracted the spoilers. When I turned final we were too high, and initiated a go around. There are several things that led up to this event: 1) this was a new airport for me to fly into. 2) I didn't preplan my approach. 3) it was at night and I did not call for the runway lights to be turned up. 4) flight spoilers. 5) I did not do a stall recovery like I was trained to do. 6) the first officer had been to this airport before. I should have let him fly that leg.

Title: COMMUTER CAPT FLEW ACFT TO STICK SHAKER THEN MADE A MISSED APCH BECAUSE HE WAS TOO HIGH FOR THE APCH AT CAE.
Narrative: WE WERE CLRED FOR A VISUAL APCH TO RWY 29. I USED THE FLT SPOILERS IN THE DSCNT AND FORGOT TO RETRACT THEM. I WAS DISTR LOOKING FOR THE ARPT AND DID NOT NOTICE THE STALL TAPE COMING UP ON THE SPD TAPE. WHEN I TURNED BASE, I GOT THE STICK SHAKER. I ADDED PWR AND THE FO RETRACTED THE SPOILERS. WHEN I TURNED FINAL WE WERE TOO HIGH, AND INITIATED A GAR. THERE ARE SEVERAL THINGS THAT LED UP TO THIS EVENT: 1) THIS WAS A NEW ARPT FOR ME TO FLY INTO. 2) I DIDN'T PREPLAN MY APCH. 3) IT WAS AT NIGHT AND I DID NOT CALL FOR THE RWY LIGHTS TO BE TURNED UP. 4) FLT SPOILERS. 5) I DID NOT DO A STALL RECOVERY LIKE I WAS TRAINED TO DO. 6) THE FO HAD BEEN TO THIS ARPT BEFORE. I SHOULD HAVE LET HIM FLY THAT LEG.
