## Discrepancy

ON JANUARY 22, 1995, PROPELLER ASSY WAS REMOVED FOR PROP DE-ICE FAILURE ON THE NR 1 BLADE.  AFTER REMOVAL OF THE BAD DE-ICE BOOT, MOVEMENT WAS NOTED BETWEEN THE OUTER SLEEVE AND THE COMPOSITE MATERIAL.  ALL BLADES WERE THEN INSPECTED AND 2 MORE BLADES WERE FOUND TO HAVE MOVEMENT.  NO MOVEMENT IS ALLOWED IN THE AREA PER DOWTY CMM 61-10-36.  THE PROPELLER WAS TAKEN OUT OF SERVICE AND SENT TO DOWTY AEROSPACE FOR INSPECTION.  THE SUBSEQUENT DISASSEMBLY INSPECTION VERIFIED THE REMOVAL REASON.
