This audit was performed in response to complaints regarding qualification testing of H-3 and H-53 helicopter fuel cells manufactured by the Italian company , Sekur S.p.A., a member of the Pirelli Group (Sekur-Pirelli). The complainant alleged that the Air Force did not require Sekur-Pirelli to perform H-3 and H-53 helicopter fuel cell qualification testing in accordance with applicable military specification requirements. The complainant also alleged that the Air Force did not comply with recommendations made by the Air Force Safety Mishap Investigation Board related to a fatal H-53 helicopter mishap. According to the allegation, the Air Force Safety Mishap Investigation Board recommended that the entire H-53 helicopter fuel system be made crashworthy to prevent the recurrence of fatalities during similar helicopter mishaps. We received an inquiry related to the H-53 helicopter fuel cell testing allegations from Congressman George W. Darden. In addition, we received an inquiry from Congressman David L. Hobson concerning the safety of the H-53 helicopter fuel system.
