What type of equipment do Flight Attendants NOT pre-flight check?

Flight attendants are responsible for conducting a pre-flight check of various safety and emergency equipment to ensure the safety of passengers and crew during a flight. However, there are specific items that fall under the purview of the flight deck crew instead of the cabin crew.

Flight Deck Emergency Ready (ER) equipment, such as fire extinguishers, oxygen masks, and any specific emergency tools designed for use in the cockpit or for the pilots' use, is typically not checked by flight attendants during pre-flight checks. This responsibility lies with the flight deck crew, who are trained to ensure that all necessary equipment in the cockpit is operational and ready for emergencies.

In contrast, emergency exit doors, in-flight medical kits, and passenger life vests are all items that flight attendants regularly check before each flight. Emergency exit doors must be operational for passenger evacuation if necessary, medical kits must be complete and contain the required supplies, and passenger life vests must be in place and accessible for use. These checks are critical parts of ensuring overall safety in the cabin.
