What is verified during the preflight of infant life vests?

• A. Correct Quantity & Pouch Sealed
• B. Check Water Depth
• C. Expiration Date Only
• D. Color Only

Answer: (A)

During preflight of infant life vests, the focus is on readiness by confirming two things: you have the correct number of vests on board and each vest’s pouch or container is sealed and intact. Having the right quantity ensures every infant can be accommodated, and a sealed pouch keeps the vest clean, dry, and ready for immediate use in an emergency. Other options don’t address immediate operability: water depth relates to operations after an incident, expiration dates aren’t universally present or sufficient to guarantee readiness, and color alone doesn’t indicate that the vest is serviceable or accessible when needed.
