Narrative:Just after takeoff the airplane began to vibrate. The pilot reduced the power and returned for an immediate landing. Examination showed that 6 inches of one blade had separated from the propeller. The separated piece was recovered, and metallurgical examination showed that the blade separated due to a fatigue crack emanating from a gouge associated with foreign object damage. The propeller blade material met the material and hardness specifications as prescribed by the manufacturer.
Probable Cause: failure and separation of the propeller blade due to foreign object damage and fatigue.
