After losing both engines, a turboprop crashes in Papua New Guinea—and investigators soon uncover a deadly flaw in an aircraft used around the world. They learn that, 28 minutes into the flight, the rotations per minute spiked to over 1500 on both engines. The normal operation of propellers in the air is between 900 to 1200, meaning flight 1600’s propellers were working at almost double speed.
Uncover the truth behind more legendary aviation disasters in brand new episodes of Air Crash Investigation, Mondays at 9pm, on National Geographic UK.
