Hi Brenda,

So guess you obviously have heard the news.  Next time we have a meeting that I can attend, I would be happy to talk about the whole process and what we my have determined what the cause was.

I read one of the comments from the article which reminded me that I had the 496 track turned on during the incident flight.  I saved the cookie crumb trail on the garmin and actually walked through the snow today trying to locate my prop....no joy.  We still go a bunch of snow on the ground, but I am confident I will find it.

Well done Mike - any landing you can walk away from is a good one. Any update on the damage and required repairs?

The NTSB says the prop was found.

Did you ever figure out why the bolts sheared off?
