## Discrepancy

(CAN) PROPELLER RECEIVED FOR O/H.  DURING LIQUID PENETRANT INSPECTION CRACK INDICATIONS WERE FOUND IN 2 OF THE HUB ARMS.  THE HUB WAS SENT OUT FOR EDDY CURRENT INSPECTION WHICH CONFIRMED THE FINDINGS.  THE MFG WAS CONSULTED AND IT IS THEIR OPINION THAT THE DEFECTS FOUND ARE FORGING FLAWS WHICH HAVE RENDERED THE HUB AS SCRAP.  THE EFFECTED PART IS BEING FORWARDED TO THE MFG FOR FURTHER TESTING AND EVALUATION.
