Re: What would you do in this situation??

ITCZ, there is 'Operational Control" and its responsibility is vested fairly and squarely with the PIC.

The ability to properly exercise that responsibility is not found in those who's training has not given them the answer to the hypothetical posed by Big Kev.

Go for option 1, then go for a swim with the pax
If you can't get a phone call out as a last resort call up an over head RPT on area or even on 121.5 and get them to relay a message for you.

Prop filing is not approved pilot maintanence but you can get a maintenace approval for it by getting a lame to show you how its done then a few props filed with him watching then filling out the casa paper work (form xyz 123 I can't remember the reg number but some one here might know it) get a shedule of experiance signed by the lame and your set. don't file props if you havn't been shown how and signed out !! you could do more harm than good.

Pray tell how you file out a crack in a prop?
This answer will be a beauty for sure

Tell the LAME and tell your boss to bring in another aircraft to ferry the paxs and yourself home. Mark the maintenance release as U/S - End of story.

Re: What would you do in this situation??

If you can see a crack then the prop is well and trully fckd.
But if its just a big stone chip , then you need to use your better judgment (call the CP and ask his opinion). Most props have no worries with a bit of gravel rash (or else most NT aircraft would be out of action).
But a crack is bad and not worth even thinking about flying.

In this scenario is there beer????
If so I would call for another aircaft and drink beer. Let the chief pilolt decide what to do.
If no beer, well find a log, carve out on new prop and duct tape it on to the old one! Stuctural support!!!!!

If it were a 402, just use the spare engine to get home, that is why they give your two engines isn't it???
