Narrative:
To the best of my recollection, below are the facts relating to the flight on nov/wed/91. I was flying small transport. During the takeoff roll, takeoff power was applied, rotation was at normal rotation speed. Immediately a loud popping sound was heard. After visually checking all engine instruments, I noticed the aircraft settling. Full throttle application was confirmed. The aircraft was flown around the traffic pattern and safely landed. After securing the aircraft, I discovered damage to the propeller blades.

Narrative: TO THE BEST OF MY RECOLLECTION, BELOW ARE THE FACTS RELATING TO THE FLT ON NOV/WED/91. I WAS FLYING SMT. DURING THE TKOF ROLL, TKOF PWR WAS APPLIED, ROTATION WAS AT NORMAL ROTATION SPD. IMMEDIATELY A LOUD POPPING SOUND WAS HEARD. AFTER VISUALLY CHKING ALL ENG INSTS, I NOTICED THE ACFT SETTLING. FULL THROTTLE APPLICATION WAS CONFIRMED. THE ACFT WAS FLOWN AROUND THE TFC PATTERN AND SAFELY LANDED. AFTER SECURING THE ACFT, I DISCOVERED DAMAGE TO THE PROP BLADES.
