## Discrepancy

(CAN) AS THE A/C WAS APPROACHING STAGING WITH A SLING LOAD, THE PILOT HEARD A LOUD BANG FOLLOWED BY A LOUD SCREECHING NOISE FROM THE ENGINE.  THE A/C LANDED IMMEDIATELY WITH POWER AND THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN.  UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION, ONE OF THE COMPRESSOR FIRST STAGE ROTOR BLADES WAS FOUND BROKEN AT THE ROOT AND MISSING.
