Propeller Safety

In 2000, there were 12 general aviation accidents that resulted from propeller system failures.

As illustrated below, flying with a poorly maintained propeller can have catastrophic results. Don't let this happen to you. Follow manufacturer recommended overhaul intervals and have the prop inspected during routine maintenance visits.
