According to the Wall Street Journal:

"The Federal Aviation Administration is seeking a record $162.4 million of proposed and potential civil penalties from American Airlines parent AMR Corp., according to court documents in the company's bankruptcy case.

The previously undisclosed investigations into alleged safety and maintenance infractions by American and its affiliates are the most dramatic indications yet of extensive FAA concerns about the effectiveness of American's maintenance system, seemingly shared by many agency inspectors and managers directly overseeing the carrier as well as their bosses in Washington...

...Because the agency had to file its claims by the July 16 deadline in the AMR Chapter 11 case, a number of major probes are still under way and American hasn't received formal penalty letters about them. The largest potential penalties listed for individual enforcement cases are $39.3 million, $28.8 million and $27.6 million...

...The $39.3 million penalty for American stems from allegedly failing in 2009 to properly carry out mandatory safety fixes to wire bundles between the engines and wings of certain Boeing 757 jets...

...The proposed $28.8 million penalty stems from allegedly improper procedures during Boeing 777 landing gear overhauls and incorrect testing of the gear assemblies...

...The recommended $27.6 million penalty involves American's alleged failure to apply cadmium plating as part of a required modification to Boeing 767 engine nacelle mounts and wing structures..."
