During preflight, where should the CPR mask be secured?

• A. In its pouch
• B. Secured to the compartment surface (as installed)
• C. In the overhead bin
• D. In the back pocket

Answer: (B)

Emergency equipment must stay in its designated mounted location so it remains in place, easily reachable, and undamaged during flight. The CPR mask should be secured to the compartment surface where it is installed. This fixed position ensures it is in a known, readily accessible spot and won’t shift, become damaged, or be difficult to locate if you need it in an emergency. Storing it in a pouch, in an overhead bin, or in a back pocket can make it harder to find, or allow it to move or get misplaced, which is not how the installed emergency equipment is intended to be kept.
