Where should the AED unit be secured during preflight?

• A. In the bracket
• B. In the overhead bin
• C. Under the seat
• D. In the cabinet

Answer: (A)

AEDs must be secured in their designated mounting points so they stay put during movement and turbulence and can be reached immediately in an emergency. The bracket is specifically designed to hold the unit securely while keeping it readily accessible to crew, so you can grab it quickly without delay. Placing the AED in an overhead bin can make it harder to reach fast and it may shift or fall during flight, while under the seat might obstruct seating and isn’t a fixed, designated mounting point. A cabinet might work if it’s the right secure enclosure, but the bracket is the intended, standardized mounting location that ensures the device remains secure and easy to access.
