Misjudgment Is Blamed For Fatal Air Crash

The crash in which three lives were lost in a midair collision of a helicopter and light plane May 2 in Westerlo was caused by misjudgment on the part of the plane's pilot, Leonard Garramone, 33, of Voorheesville, the Civil Aeronautics Board has reported. Mr. Garramone, an investigator with the State Police Bureau of Criminal Investigation; Dwight C. Hannay, 47, a Westerlo manufacturer, and William Furman, a Westerlo justice of the peace, were killed after the aircraft collided shortly after takeoff. The CAB report, issued in Washington, said Mr. Garramone "misjudged the speed" of his Taylorcraft plane "while attempting to maneuver into close proximity" with the helicopter.

Although the agency criticized Mr. Garramone's judgment in trying to fly so close to another aircraft, the report indicated that Mr. Furman, a passenger in the helicopter, might have asked for the close manuevering in order to take pictures.

The CBA said that before takeoff Mr. Furman was seen talking to Mr. Garramone.

Both the plane and the copter took off, the report continues, and the "Taylorcraft was observed overtaking the Hughes (helicopter) at an altitude of 400 or 500 feet." The rotors of the helicopter were seen by several witnesses to make contact with the Taylorcraft propeller and the left wing of the Taylorcraft was seen to fold back."

The agency reports that both aircraft then fell to the ground "with the helicopter appearing to explode on contact." Examination of the wreckage gave no evidence of mechanical failure, the CAB said.
