Michelle: I agree with your assessment. Nose gear failure with "power
off" with consequence of minor prop bend may not require a tear down.
Contact surface (scrape)on the prop will help determine what stresses
were on the crank per my mechanic.

A few years back lycoming redefined what is a prop strike.....
A manufactururer SB does not make anything mandatory for a part 91
operator. An AD note does.......

It's only a service bulletin, not an AD.
Both Continental and Lycoming consider a teardown
mandatory after a prop strike.


Read the Lycoming AD/SB carefully. Just because you hit something does
not mean you have to do a tear down.
