Accident · substantial damage

Nov 14, 2023 · Lowell, IN

Fatigue cracking of the propeller blade root, which resulted in the in-flight separation of the propeller blade from its root. Contributing to the accident was the improper machining of the blade root threads, which resulted in chatter/ratchet marks that weakened the strength of the blade root.
