## Discrepancy

(CAN) DURING CLIMB OUT, THE LT PROP LOST A DE-ICE BOOT. THE PILOT HEARD IT AND RETURNED TO THE AIRPORT.  THE REMAINING 2 DE-ICE BOOTS WERE REMOVED AND THE PROP WAS INSPECTED TO BE SERVICEABLE. THE PROP DE-ICE CIRCUIT BREAKER WAS PULLED AND THE COCKPIT PLACARDED (NOT TO BE OPERATED IN KNOWN ICING).
