Abstract
Safe operation of an aircraft depends strongly on periodic inspection of high risk parts, particularly rotating parts that are subjected to complex dynamic loads. For the highest level of flight safety, maintenance rules, such as limits and intervals should be applied carefully.This paper describes the root cause of a fracture mechanism in an Cessna-185 aircraft propeller blade due to FOD induced fatigue crack propagation.
