The instructor, the pilot would be adapted and two companions, after make the meeting prior to the flight and
Exterior and interior inspection aircraft, carried out after sunset up, shooting to use the track 02.
After the test engine prior checks started the race takeoff. When they had come, about 30 m and with a 2300 rpm indication of the propeller, aircraft experienced strong trepidations so the instructor He decided to abort the takeoff.
In those moments he noticed that the engine he had stopped also when he tried closing the fuel passage noted that
the command was locked, then disconnected all equipment, energy electrical and other occupants. He descended from the aircraft.

propeller blade was then located on the left of the track. Other damage was deformations in the structure fore and
on the flame arrestor , plus the nose wheel he was misaligned and tilted toward the right because the structure is distorted"
Cause
During a training flight, during the take-off run, a blade detaches from the aircraft's propeller due to a fracture of the propeller hub, due to a progressive cracking process (fatigue) initiated in a surface discontinuity of the element in areas not covered by the directives for inspections issued until the date of the accident.
