Narrative:
Significant potential for FOD in clt. While taxiing to runway 36C in clt I avoided a pot hole in taxiway east near the intersection of taxiway E3. The pot hole is located on the west side of the centerline where a narrow body airliners right main would normally be when taxiing to 36C. This is a significant pothole because the concrete has failed and mud and water are being spread past the pothole by taxiing planes. The high potential of an engine ingesting mud; concrete; ice or dirt makes this a dangerous situation. Charlotte airport operations needs to repair this.
