Which pre-flight condition is required for the AED?

• A. Missing
• B. Damaged
• C. Unknown
• D. Present and secure

Answer: (D)

The device must be ready for use by being present and secured. In pre-flight checks, the AED needs to be on board and safely stored so it can be accessed quickly and used without delay in an emergency. If it’s missing, there’s no AED available at all; if it’s damaged, it may not function when needed; if the status is unknown, you can’t rely on it. Being present and secure ensures the device is both available and protected from movement or damage while the aircraft is in flight.
