## Discrepancy

ON SCHEDULED FLIGHT 103, FROM AUS TO CRP, THE CREW NOTICED A SLIGHT VIBRATION.  IT WAS DETERMINED THAT IT WAS MOST LIKELY COMING FROM THE RT ENGINE.  ALL ENGINE PARAMETERS WERE NORMAL AND THE FLIGHT CONT.  DURING THE POST-FLIGHT INSPECTION, THE CREW FOUND THAT APPROXIMATELY 6 INCHES OF ONE DE-ICE BOOT, ON THE RT PROPELLER HAD COME LOOSE FROM THE BLADE.  THE AIRCRAFT WAS FERRIED TO AUS.  THE DE-ICE BOOT WAS REPLACED AND OPERATIONAL CHECKED SATISFACTORY.  THE AIRCRAFT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE.
