I would dare to suspect to point out a probable cause: kites.
Like maybe the kite string got wrapped around one of the props and caused it to stop????
stepwilk, if your intention was to be fun, you may have succeeded in front of some idiotic audience.
Take a look at this link:
Pipa (brinquedo)
and you may find that it is not so funny to find one of those things above 300ft in your landing flight path.
My last flight to REC was on the 9th of this month and I can tell you that the "pipa" I saw passing below my wing would certainly have made my day if it happened to be swallowed by my number one engine. It's called FOD. And may damage aircraft and engines.
The L410 is a turbo-prop engined aircraft and so, subjected to FOD. The structure of this kites is not only made of paper. Some of them are huge and do pose a risk to aviation.
