## Discrepancy

(CAN) IN FLIGHT SEPARATION OF APPROXIMATELY 1.3" OF BLADE TIP.  CREW DID NOT NOTE ANY ABNORMAL PARAMETERS OR VIBRATION.  LOSS WAS FOUND AFTER SHUTDOWN. THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE OF A PROP STRIKE.  CRACK MAY HAVE ORIGINATED FROM A SMALL STONE SCUFF NEAR THE TIP.  MAINTENANCE REPLACED PROPELLER, COMPLETED CHIP DETECTOR AND OIL FILTER CHECKS AS A PRECAUTION.
