Great job, or fantastic luck in avoiding pranging the prop!

Yeah, I thought the prop looked a little curved on at least one end.

The prop was hit.

Wonder what the issue was?  He obviously knew he had a problem since he asked for the crash equipment to stand by.

A wild guess would be something with landing gear or brakes.

Edit: look close at the touchdown, right wheel is wobbling...

Wouldn't the engine have to be checked  after a prop incident like that ?

Maybe.  I'll bet the engine was at idle, it didn't stop the prop, probably a reasonable light hit on the engine components.  The B-17 got away one day on takeoff when the tailwheel lock failed (I wasn't flying it) and they hit one of those runway/taxiway signs made of metal and plastic.  Cleaved the sign, left a small mark on the prop.  With the FAA looking on our mechanic checked the crank/prop shaft to see if it had been bent and the aircraft of ok to fly.

In US civil aviation it would be; any sudden stoppage the crankshaft has to be dye pen/magnaflux inspected, propellor flange runout checked, that kinda thing.

Is there an FAR, Service Bulletin, etc. to that effect?
