## Discrepancy

FLIGHT 3841 ON CLIMBOUT FROM SYRACUSE HAD TO RETURN TO FIELD DUE TO SPARKS BEING OBSERVED COMING FROM THE NR 2 PROP.  NO EMERGENCY DECLARED AND THE FLIGHT LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT.  MAINTENANCE FOUND THE NR 2 PROP BLADE ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE TO BE AT FAULT.  BLADE WAS REMOVED AND REPLACED, OPERATIONAL AND LEAK CHECKS GOOD.  AIRCRAFT RETURNED TO SERVICE.
