Review the requirements for the restraint of first aid kits to ensure they will be securely held but still accessible in a survivable accident.
Reply Text
Similarly, New Zealand Civil Airworthiness Requirement C4, Appendix , paragraph 5.1, requires that "First aid kits shall be located so that the possibility of damage or loss as the result of an accident will be minimised" and that they "shall be so stowed and secured as to preclude their being a potential danger to the occupants of the aircraft.

A Civil Aviation Information Circular in the AIR series will be issued to remind people of the dangers of not complying with these requirements.
