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

The verification of the first aid kit's presence and the integrity of its seal is crucial during a preflight check. This ensures that the kit is available for use in case of an emergency and that it hasn't been tampered with or compromised. An intact seal is an indicator that the supplies inside have not been accessed or removed since the last inspection, which maintains the trust in the kit’s readiness for use.

While ensuring the kit is stocked and that supplies are current is important, the immediate focus during a preflight check is on the kit's availability and tamper verification. The kit should be easily accessible, as it could be needed at any moment. Knowing that it is present and sealed allows the crew to focus on other duties, confident that emergency supplies are secured and ready. In the context of a preflight check, confirming that the kit is stock and has an expiration date is secondary to ensuring that it is intact and available for emergency situations.
