THE FLIGHT WAS CLIMBING TO 11,000 FEET WITH AN INSTRUMENT FLIGHT CLEARANCE WHEN A PROPELLER BLADE SEPARATED FROM THE HUB. THE BLADE WAS SUBSEQUENTLY RECOVERED FROM THE YARD OF A LOCAL RESIDENT. THE FRACTURE EXAMINATION DISCLOSED THAT THE CRACKING ORIGINATED IN THE THREADED PORTION OF HUB. THE FAILURE RESULTED FROM FATIGUE CRACKING THROUGH ABOUT 60% OF THE SHANK'S DIAMETER. THE PILOT LANDED THE AIRCRAFT ON THE RUNWAY AFTER GLIDING FROM ABOUT 9,000 FEET WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT.
