§ 91.513
Emergency equipment.
(a) No person may operate an air-
plane unless it is equipped with the

(b) Each item of equipment—
(1) Must be inspected in accordance
with § 91.409 to ensure its continued
serviceability and immediate readiness
for its intended purposes;
(2) Must be readily accessible to the
crew;
(3) Must clearly indicate its method
of operation; and
(4) When carried in a compartment or
container, must have that compart-
ment or container marked as to con-
tents and date of last inspection.
(c) Hand fire extinguishers must be
provided for use in crew, passenger, and
cargo compartments in accordance
with the following:
(1) The type and quantity of extin-
guishing agent must be suitable for the
kinds of fires likely to occur in the
compartment where the extinguisher is
intended to be used.
(2) At least one hand fire extin-
guisher must be provided and located
on or near the flight deck in a place
that is readily accessible to the flight
crew.
(3) At least one hand fire extin-
guisher must be conveniently located
in the passenger compartment of each
airplane accommodating more than six
but less than 31 passengers, and at
least two hand fire extinguishers must
be conveniently located in the pas-
senger compartment of each airplane
accommodating more than 30 pas-
sengers.
(4) Hand fire extinguishers must be
installed and secured in such a manner
that they will not interfere with the
safe operation of the airplane or ad-
versely affect the safety of the crew
and passengers. They must be readily
accessible and, unless the locations of
the fire extinguishers are obvious,
their stowage provisions must be prop-
erly identified.
(d) First aid kits for treatment of in-

stalled as follows:
(1) One megaphone on each airplane
with a seating capacity of more than 60
but less than 100 passengers, at the
most rearward location in the pas-
senger cabin where it would be readily
accessible to a normal flight attendant
seat. However, the Administrator may
grant a deviation from the require-
ments of this subparagraph if the Ad-
ministrator finds that a different loca-
tion would be more useful for evacu-
ation of persons during an emergency.
(2) On each airplane with a seating
capacity of 100 or more passengers, one
megaphone installed at the forward end
and one installed at the most rearward
location where it would be readily ac-
