must be stocked, inspected and have the applicable forms/records updated
periodically by who? Right Ans - Qualified Aviation Life Support Equipment
(ALSE) technicians before it is ready for use in flight
The Primary Survival Gear Carrier (PSGC) is commonly known as the "ALSE
vest" comes in how many sizes? Right Ans - Comes in one size and must be
fitted to the individual to whom it is issued by qualified Aviation Life Support
Equipment (ALSE) technicians before it is ready for use in flight
