Soooo.... prop strike....

can any one prove the pilot saw a decrease in RPM ? that is what is required to place the AD for the Lycoming engines in play.

TCM says if the prop must come off for repair they say in a SB that the engine should have all iron parts magnifluxed.
There is no I SAY AGAIN neither engine must have a full tear down. In this case it is debatable if the AD for Lycoming even apply
 
Depending on the engine of the 182 it would be a mandatory engine teardown/inspection for any prop strike. Holy buckets.
WRONG see the AD. really read it.

Magnafluxed.
 
how would I know its not my plane.

my guess is not much.

Keep track of the N-number --- see if it shows up in the NTSB database in the near future --- especially CFIT similarities due to inflight engine disassembly

He launched a 10 - 12 pound cone at least 50 feet, he was to our right and the cone landed to the left of our wing. We all heard it with our engine running and headsets on.

It could have been worse...

...he could have flung the cone into your prop...
