Which item is included in the ditching equipment kit on the 787 besides lifevests and slide/liferafts?

• A. Spare lifevest kit
• B. Emergency beacon
• C. First aid kit
• D. Fire extinguisher

Answer: (A)

The item tests readiness for overwater survival by ensuring there are additional, ready-to-use life-saving resources beyond what passengers already have. The spare lifevest kit provides extra lifevests to replace those used or damaged during a ditching, so the crew can quickly equip everyone on board without delays. This directly supports the goal of maintaining adequate flotation protection for all aboard in a water evacuation, alongside the lifevests already distributed and the slides/liferafts. While emergency beacons, first aid kits, and fire extinguishers are essential safety gear, they are not the specific type of extra flotation equipment the ditching kit is designed to supply. The spare lifevest kit fills that particular need by guaranteeing a supply of life jackets beyond the standard stock.
