I assume that you meant maximum instead of minimum.

I noticed on an American Airline flight a gap of about 4 inches between the floor of the bridge and the airplane. Wide enough that if the passenger is not paying attention to the floor the foot may slip in between or at least get stuck. The flight attendant said there's always a gap. I've seen a gap but not that wide. Is there a minimummaximum acceptable gap?
