Read the full NTSB narrative
During a climb in turbulent conditions, the most-outboard five inches of one propeller blade separated from the aircraft. Due to the violent vibration that followed, the pilot shut the engine off and made an emergency landing in an open field. An examination at the NTSB materials laboratory determined that the blade section had separated due to a fatigue crack that had propagated through two-thirds of the chord of the blade. The origin of the fatigue crack was determined to be an area on the leading edge where the blade had been damaged by impact with a foreign object.
