## Discrepancy

(CAN) PROPELLER WAS RECEIVED FOR O/H DUE TO A FOREIGN OBJECT STRIKE. DURING MPI OF THE PITCH CHANGE FORK CRACKS WERE FOUND COMING FROM THE PITCH CHANGE BLOCK SLOTS.  THE CRACKS DO NOT APPEAR TO BE CONSISTENT WITH THE TYPE OF BLADE DAMAGE OBSERVED DURING THE FOREIGN OBJECT STRIKE INSPECTION.
