Army report Pilot’s error led to crash I SAN ANTONIO (AP) — In sufficient training ami pilot error combined to cause the crash of a helicopter at Fort Hood that claimed the lives of 10 men, an Army report has concluded. The Huey helicopter crashed [at Fort Hood on June 22, 1987, and 10 Army Reserve and Texas National Guardsmen were killed. “The crew exceeded their fly ing abilities and the limitations of the aircraft,” the report said. “The crash was a result of an un authorized maneuver executed at an altitude too low to recover." The report- was prepared by the 5th Army at Fort Sam Hous ton at the request of Forces Com mand, which oversees the train ing of Army Reserve and National Guard units from its headquarters at Fort McPherson, Ga. The report also stated that the “the quantity and content of the training program” was cited in the report as being “not sufficient to prepare the crew” for flights with a full load of passengers. The helicopter was participat ing in Starburst ’87, the annual summer training for 20,000 men and women of tne Guard and its Reserve support units from 18 states. Eight Reservists and two Guardsmen were killed. The helicopter crashed when a high-speed, steep turn at low alti tude resulted in an unplanned, rapid descent, the report said. The report also said the crew apparently sought to solve the problem with a quick climb but the helicopter’s tail-roters struck several trees. The aircraft was destroyed by fire, but no mechanical or main tenance problems were found, the report said. Judge overturns Florida fruit ban, allows shipments AUSTIN (AP) — A federal judge on Tuesday overturned the Texas ban on Florida citrus fruit, ruling in favor of Florida citrus industry offi cials who want to sell their produce in the state. Texas agriculture officials said the ban was needed to protect Texas’ $65 million-a-year citrus industry from canker. T he state quarantine began last month, after the U.S. De partment of Agriculture lifted a S'/a- year-old federal quarantine on Flor ida citrus that was prompted by the disease. Texas now will seek an injunction against the new federal rule, which allows shipment of Florida citrus that meets certain standards to other citrus-producing states, Texas De partment of Agriculture spokesman Max Woodfin said. U.S. District Judge James Nowlin said he lifted the state ban, imposed last month after the new federal rule took effect, because the federal reg ulation takes precedence over the state rule. The ban was due to end March 12, when Texas officials planned to have gathered information on the federal rule and take some perma nent action. “We feel we need to do whatever we can to protect the Texas citrus in dustry,” Woodfin said. The injunction request will charge that the federal rule was issued abruptly and did not allow sufficient time to study its possible effects, he said. Florida Citrus Mutual, a growers association, and Tuxedo Fruit. Com pany, a Florida shipper and grower, sued Texas last month to stop the emergency state quarantine. Florida Gov. Bob Martinez and Florida Agriculture Commissioner Doyle Conner joined the court ac tion. The lawsuit called the ban uncon stitutional and invalid. It said the ac tion would mean a loss of millions of dollars to the Florida citrus industry. Canker, which can seriously dam age citrus plants and fruit, was found in Florida in 1984. Florida of ficials said Florida producers must meet strict standards under the new federal regulation in order to ship fruit to citrus-producing states, in cluding Texas. Robert Griffith, chief of the bu reau of pest eradication for the Flor ida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Service, said fruit shipped to citrus-producing states undergoes a “top-of-the-line, Cadil- lac-version of certification.” Griffith said he had never heard of canker being found on mature cit rus fruit that was ready to be shipped. He said it would be difficult to transmit canker from fruit to cit rus groves. “The bacteria doesn’t lly or hop around like a fungus would,” he said. “It would have to be taken right to a grove and come in contact with a citrus tree.” Florida has 2,000 acres of certi fied fruit “ready to go” to other cit rus-producing states, including Texas, Arizona and California, he said. Texas officials said they do not want to take any chance of import ing canker and noted that new out breaks of the disease recently have been reported in Florida.
