t’s convenient and easy to grab the first aid kit to take care of
minor cuts and injuries during missions.
However, when the mission is over, some pilots and copilots
forget they must turn in the first aid kit if it has been used.
When you break the kit’s seal and use the contents, it must be
returned to the Aviation Life Support Equipment (ALSE) shop for
re-packing, re-sealing and re-tagging. First aid kits with broken
seals should never be left on an aircraft.
In AR 95-1,
Flight Regulations,
each aircraft must carry a required
number of kits to accommodate the number of occupants in the
aircraft. Each kit must have a yellow tag with its next inspection
due date and a seal that must be inspected daily.
If the seal is broken or the tag has expired, take it to your ALSE
tech and have it inspected, then re-packed and re-sealed.
When you pre-flight your aircraft, make sure the first aid kit is
ready to go with you. If it’s not, you may not be able to fly or carry
the required number of passengers your mission requires.
