During a preflight check, what should you verify about the 1st Aid Kit?

The correct choice focuses on verifying both the presence of the First Aid Kit and the integrity of its seal. This is crucial because during an emergency, having the First Aid Kit readily available can mean the difference between effective first aid response and delayed medical assistance. Ensuring the seal is intact is essential as it indicates that the kit has not been tampered with and that all the supplies inside are likely in their original state and suitable for use.

While verifying that the kit is stocked with necessary supplies and has a current expiration date are important for actual usability in an emergency, the priority during a preflight check is confirming its presence on board and that it is fully secured and intact. The location of the kit, such as being in the overhead bin, is typically standardized and part of the operational procedures, but does not directly address the need for immediate availability and readiness.
