## Discrepancy

(CAN) DURING A DAILY INSPECTION OF THE T/R BLADES IT WAS NOTED THAT A HAIR LINE CRACK WAS VISBLE NEAR THE ROOT OF THE BLADE S/N 393. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION USING A 10X MAGIFIER THE CRACK SPAND THE CORD LENGTH OF THE BLADE. THE AIRCRAFT WAS REMOVED FROM SERVICE AND T/R BLADES X2 WERE REPLACED. THE SUSPECTED CRACKED BLADE IS SCHEDULED TO BE SENT TO THE O/H FACILITY FOR X-RAY. MORE INFORMATION TO FOLLOW. (TC# 20140619011)
