## Discrepancy

(CAN) THE PROP IN QUESTION WAS REMOVED FOR DISASSEMBLY TO BE SENT FOR DELAMINATION BEYOND LIMITS TO THE MANUFACTURER.  WHEN THE PROP ASSEMBLY WAS DISASSEMBLED, A RADIAL CRACK WAS DISCOVERED IN NR 2 BLADE MEASURING IN EXCESS OF 6 INCHES IN THE HUB OF THE BLADE S/N: SF340-132/234.  IT WAS DISCOVERED VISUALLY AND HAS SUBSEQUENTLY BEEN SENT FOR REPAIR TO THE MANUFACTURER.
