FDA 483 - American Airlines - November 08, 2018

An FDA inspection of American Airlines, an aircraft manufacturer in Greensboro, NC, identified multiple issues related to the condition of a Boeing 737-800 aircraft. Observations included rough, unsmooth, or missing sealant, and unsealed panels creating gaps in various galley compartments and lavatories. These conditions suggest potential issues with maintaining easily cleanable surfaces and proper sealing.
