THIS MESSAGE HAS NOT BEEN TRANSMITTED TO UNITS SUBORDINATE TO ADDRESSEES. ADDRESSEES SHOULD IMMEDIATELY RETRANSMIT THIS MESSAGE TO ALL SUBORDINATE UNITS, ACTIVITIES OR ELEMENTS AFFECTED OR CONCERNED. THE RETRANSMITTAL SHALL REFERENCE THE MESSAGE. ACTION ADDRESSES WILL IMMEDIATELY VERIFY THIS RETRANSMISSION TO COMMANDER, ATCOM, ATTN - AMSAT-C-XS (SOF COMPLIANCE OFFICER). 1. PRIORITY CLASSIFICATION - N/A. 2. TASK/INSPECTION SUSPENSE DATE - N/A. 3. REPORTING COMPLIANCE SUSPENSE DATE - N/A. 4. SUMMARY OF PROBLEM - A. DURING FIELD FUEL CELL INSPECTIONS, BLISTERS HAVE BEEN FOUND IN THE INTERIOR OF THE FUEL CELL ON THE MANUFACTURER'S REWORKED AREAS. THESE BLISTERS MAY BE REPAIRED BY UNITS OR SUPPORTING FIELD ACTIVITIES. THE PURPOSE OF THIS MESSAGE IS TO: (1) PROVIDE REVISED REPAIR PROCEDURES TO ADDRESS BLISTERING PROBLEMS IN THE INTERIOR OF SOME FUEL CELLS. (2) PROVIDE MAINTENANCE INFORMATION ON FUEL CELLS. (3) EMPHASIZE THE NEED FOR SUBMITTING PRODUCT QUALITY DEFICIENCY REPORTS (PQDR). B. MAINTENANCE INFORMATION RELATING TO FUEL CELLS IS PROVIDED BELOW: (1) CELLS ARE CURRENTLY CODED "PAOOO", OR REMOVE, REPLACE AND REPAIR AT AVUM. IF THE FIELD FINDS THAT THE BLISTERS ARE BEYOND THEIR REPAIR USING THE IMPROVEMENTS OF PARA 12, DO NOT SCRAP THE FUEL CELL IMMEDIATELY. CONTACT YOUR NEXT LEVEL OF SUPPORT AND GET ASSISTANCE FROM YOUR LOCAL LAR BEFORE SCRAPPING. CONTACT THE LOGISTICAL POC IN PARA 16A FOR ASSISTANCE OR DISPOSITION OF THE FUEL CELL. (2) UNITS SHALL STRICTLY ADHERE TO THE REPAIR MATERIALS AND PROCEDURES IN TM 55-1520-240-23 AND PARA 12 OF THIS MESSAGE. MATERIALS AND PROCEDURES OTHER THAN THOSE IN TM 55-1520- 240-23 AND PARA 12 OF THIS MESSAGE ARE NOT AUTHORIZED. (3) REPAIR OF ACTIVATED FUEL CELLS IS NOT AUTHORIZED BY ANY REPAIR FACILITY. (4) UNITS ARE REMINDED TO CHECK FOR BLISTERING CONDITION WHEN INSPECTING THE INTERIOR OF THE FUEL CELL AT THE CURRENT 800 HOUR FUEL CELL INSPECTION. (5) A PRODUCT QUALITY DEFICIENCY REPORT (PQDR), SF 368, IS AN IMPORTANT VEHICLE TO IDENTIFY MATERIAL PROBLEMS IN AVIATION. UNITS ARE ENCOURAGED TO SUBMIT PQDRS FOR EARLY DETECTION OF MECHANICAL DEFECTS AND NON CONFORMING PARTS. ACTIONS INITIATED ON CH-47 FUEL CELLS AND HYDRAULIC PUMPS COULD HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED EARLIER IF THESE PROBLEMS WERE IDENTIFIED IN THE PQDR SYSTEM. IF UNITS HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT THE NEED TO SUBMIT PQDRS ON THE CH-47, PLEASE CONTACT THE APPLICABLE POC BELOW. THESE ACTION OFFICERS WILL PROVIDE RECOMMENDATIONS ON HOW TO PROCEED WITH REPORTING REQUIREMENTS. (A) FAILURE OF MATERIAL TO OPERATE UPON RECEIPT, CALL JERRY JOHNSTON, DSN 693-1274. (B) FAILURES CREATING AIRCRAFT MAINTAINABILITY PROBLEMS DUE TO REPLACEMENT OR REPAIR REQUIREMENTS, CONTACT MR. RON DESPLINTER, DSN 693-3261 (C) DESIGN OR SAFETY CONCERNS, CONTACT MR. BOB LAWYER OR MR. LOUIS DIGUISEPPE, DSN 693-3550. 5. END ITEMS TO BE AFFECTED - ALL CH-47 AND MH-47 AIRCRAFT. 6. ASSEMBLY COMPONENTS TO BE INSPECTED - N/A. 7. PARTS TO BE INSPECTED - N/A. 8.
