## Discrepancy

THIS THE THIRD FIRE BOTTLE FOUND, ON 2 DIFFERENT AIRCRAFT WITH THE PRESSURE GAUGE SCALE BROKEN FREE FROM ITS MOUNTED POSITION.  THE RESULT WAS A FALSE INDICATION OF AGENT (HALON CBRF3) PRESENT INSIDE THE BOTTLE.  THE LOCAL QA MANAGER IS LAUNCHING A FORMAL INVESTIGATION WITH THE MFG QA.  FORTUNATELY THIS AC WAS NOT INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT OR INCIDENT.  GOOD ROOT CAUSE ANALYSIS AND CRITICAL THOUGHT FOUND THIS DEFECT.  (K)
