Narrative:
While performing a post flight walkaround on flight, 2 gashes were found on 1 blade of the right hand propeller. The other 3 blades had scratches on them. I'm not sure what caused the damage or where it occurred but I think it had to be either while taxiing for takeoff in dtw or while taxiing to the gate after landing in cak. No abnormalities were noticed until the gashes were found in the propeller. I don't know of any corrective actions to take because I'm not sure when or how the problem occurred.

Narrative: WHILE PERFORMING A POST FLT WALKAROUND ON FLT, 2 GASHES WERE FOUND ON 1 BLADE OF THE R HAND PROP. THE OTHER 3 BLADES HAD SCRATCHES ON THEM. I'M NOT SURE WHAT CAUSED THE DAMAGE OR WHERE IT OCCURRED BUT I THINK IT HAD TO BE EITHER WHILE TAXIING FOR TKOF IN DTW OR WHILE TAXIING TO THE GATE AFTER LNDG IN CAK. NO ABNORMALITIES WERE NOTICED UNTIL THE GASHES WERE FOUND IN THE PROP. I DON'T KNOW OF ANY CORRECTIVE ACTIONS TO TAKE BECAUSE I'M NOT SURE WHEN OR HOW THE PROB OCCURRED.
