## Discrepancy

FOUND AFT PROPELLER SPINNER BULKHEAD CRACKED AT ONE FLANGE AT PROPELLER BLADE CUT OUT.  EDGE WITH NUTPLATE AND SCREW STILL ATTACHED TO PROPELLER SPINNER. CESSNA SERVICE BULLETIN SB02-61-01 WAS ACCOMPLISHED 34.0 HOURS PREVIOUSLY AND THE AFT SPINNER BULKHEAD REPLACED AT 82.2 HOURS WITH. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM AND HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED WITH THE NEW -11 BULKHEAD NOR CESSNA SERVICE BULLETIN SB02-61-01.
