Binter plane scares passengers with propeller "stop" during landing: what really happened

Passengers on the Binter Canarias flight will remember this flight for the rest of their lives. The plane was approaching to land at El Hierro airport, and something unexpected happened. One of the passengers even filmed what at first seemed like a breakdown, but turned out to be something else entirely.

Flight Binter NT862, which departed from Tenerife-Norte and landed in Valverde on September 22, will be remembered by everyone on board. Although the flight itself lasted only half an hour and proceeded normally, the landing was unusual. The video taken by one of the passengers quickly went viral, as no one could understand what actually happened.

Canary Television reported that the plane was unable to land on the first attempt, which greatly alarmed the passengers. Although this caused tension, it is actually a normal maneuver when visibility is poor and landing is difficult, as it was at that moment.

After the failed first attempt, the pilots were still able to land the plane successfully, reassuring everyone who wanted to get to El Hierro safe and sound. The video, taken by a passenger sitting near the right propeller, shows the propeller suddenly stopping, which frightened people a lot.

Binter assured that there was nothing wrong with the engine of the right wing, and explained that it was just an optical illusion. The control tower also confirmed that no malfunctions were recorded, and supported the airline's version.

This strange phenomenon could have been caused by various factors, such as lighting or the speed of the propeller's rotation, which makes its movement imperceptible to the eye. In any case, Binter continues to operate its flights, delivering residents of the Canary Islands and tourists to their destinations.
