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.
