## Discrepancy

PILOT REPORTED ON TAKE OFF THAT THE PROPELLER WOULD NOT MAKE FULL POWER.  PILOT RETURNED TO THE FIELD.  PRIOR TO TOUCHDOWN, PILOT EXPERIENCED A VIBRATION.  IMMEDIATELY AFTER TOUCHDOWN, THE VIBRATION INCREASED SIGNIFICANTLY, AND THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN.  A FIELD INSPECTION REVEALED THE PROPELLER TO BE OUT OF TRACK OVER ONE INCH (1 IN).  THE PROPELLER WAS REMOVED AND SENT FOR INSPECTION/ EVALUATION.  UPON DISASSEMBLY OF THIS PROPELLER A VISUAL INSPECTION REVEALED A LARGE CRACK APPROXIMATELY 270 DEGREES AROUND THE NR 2 BLADE SHANK.  THE HUB APPEARS TO BE CRACKED IN THE NR 2 BLADE ARM AS WELL.
