What is the preflight check for FA Life Vests?

The preflight check for flight attendant life vests focuses on ensuring that they are secure and properly stored in their designated pouches. This aspect of the safety protocol is crucial because life vests need to be readily accessible in an emergency situation. If the vests are not secured in their pouches, they could become dislodged during flight, leading to complications during an evacuation or emergency procedure.

While it is important for the vests to be available, checked for damage, and not stored in overhead bins, securing them in their respective locations ensures that they are in the right spot for an immediate, effective response if needed. By confirming that life vests are properly stored in their pouches, flight attendants can guarantee that passengers and crew will have quick and easy access should the need arise.
