## Discrepancy

WITHIN SECONDS OF THE TAKEOFF ROLL, FELT A SHORT “BUMP” AND ACCOMPANYING SOUND THAT WAS HARD TO DESCRIBE. IT APPEARED TO COME FROM THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE AIRPLANE, POSSIBLY AROUND THE GEAR AREA. ALL ENGINE INDICATIONS WERE NORMAL WITH NO ABNORMAL CAS MESSAGES OR WARNINGS. WITHIN A FEW SECONDS, AT APPROXIMATELY 60 KNOTS, A SLIGHT “BURNING SMELL.” WAS OBSERVED FIRST OFFICER IMMEDIATELY CALLED OUT, ABORT AND STOPPED THE TAKEOFF ROLL. THE AIRCRAFT QUICKLY CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THERE WERE NO ABNORMALITIES SHOWING ON ANY OF THE INSTRUMENTS. AFTER A MAINTENANCE EVALUATION WAS CONDUCTED A FOD INSPECTION OF THE RIGHT ENGINE WAS PERFORMED. BORESCOPE INSPECTION REVEALED APPROXIMATELY 1/2 OF A COMPRESSOR BLADE (1 BLADE) IS MISSING, AND SOME OF THE ADJACENT HP BLADES SUSTAINED DAMAGE. SUBMITTED PICTURES FROM BORESCOPE INSPECTION TO PWC, TEXTRON AND TRITON AIRWAYS MAINTENANCE TEAM. PWC RESPONDED IN STATING THAT THE ENGINE WOULD REQUIRE REMOVAL AND BE SENT TO REPAIR FACILITY. NO FURTHER INFORMATION AVAILABLE UNTIL A COMPLETE EVALUATION OF THE ENGINE CAN BE COMPLETED.
