Which item’s pre-flight check specifies a yellow seal attached from the base?

• A. Survival pack
• B. Jemmy/fire axe
• C. ELT
• D. M5

Answer: (D)

Tamper-evident seals are used on certain emergency equipment to show whether it has been accessed since the last inspection. For some items, the pre-flight check requires the seal to be present and attached at the base, and to be intact. The item in this question is the M5, because its inspection routine specifically calls for a yellow seal that must be attached from the base and remain intact. If the seal is missing or broken, it indicates the item may have been opened or not properly secured, so it would need to be re-sealed or replaced. Other equipment may use different indicators or checks (contents, switches, or handles) rather than a base-mounted yellow seal, so they don’t require this particular verification.
