Helicopter crash near takeoff cited by NTSB witnesses
Testimony before the National Transportation Safety Board last week indicates Flight 90 pilots may have violated safety provisions as they maneuvered near a plane awaiting takeoff clearance. Six ground workers say neither pilot nor co-pilot visually checked wings and engines after de icing, and the ground supervisor failed to inspect closely. The pilot used reverse thrust to move from the boarding ramp, causing snow to swirl around engines and potentially clog a sensor that informs thrust limits.

Air Florida 737 Flight 90 Crashed In Icing Conditions
Cockpit transcripts show the pilot tried to use another plane’s exhaust heat to shed snow from the aircraft. Dry snow would blow off on takeoff while wing icing could cause upward pitching and rolling, possibly preventing the Boeing 737 from gaining altitude after liftoff.

Tax Court voids tax shelter for high income investors
Washington AP The U S Tax Court struck down losses from commodity straddles as deductible only to avoid taxes not to profit. Judge Arthur L Nims III ruled the contracts were entered to dodge taxes and Congress had already curtailed straddles last year. The decision could affect thousands of top bracket investors who funded straddles before mid 1981. A straddle combines selling and buying a commodity like silver in separate months to create one year's loss and next year's gain.
