(vi) adhesive wound closures;
(vii) safety pins;
(viii) safety scissors;
(ix) antiseptic wound cleaner;
(x) disposable resuscitation aid;

(xiii) thermometers (non-mercury).
(2) Medications:
(i) simple analgesic (may include liquid form);
(ii) antiemetic;
(iii) nasal decongestant;
(iv) gastrointestinal antacid, in the case of aeroplanes carrying more than nine
persons;
(v) anti-diarrhoeal medication, in the case of aeroplanes carrying more than nine

carried;
(ii) first-aid handbook, current edition;

possible, be available for use on the ground.
SPO.IDE.A.165 AMC3 First-aid kit
MAINTENANCE OF FIRST-AID KIT
To be kept up to date, the first-aid kit should be:
(a) inspected periodically to confirm, to the extent possible, that contents are maintained in the
condition necessary for their intended use;
(b) replenished at regular intervals, in accordance with instructions contained on their labels,
or as circumstances warrant; and
(c) replenished after use in-flight at the first opportunity where replacement items are
available.
SPO.IDE.A.170 Supplemental oxygen — pressurised aeroplanes
(a) Pressurised aeroplanes operated at flight altitudes for which the oxygen supply is required
in accordance with (b) shall be equipped with oxygen storage and dispensing apparatus
capable of storing and dispensing the required oxygen supplies.
(b) Pressurised aeroplanes operated above flight altitudes at which the pressure altitude in the
cabin compartments is above 10 000 ft shall carry enough breathing oxygen to supply all
crew members and task specialists at least:
(1) for any period when the cabin pressure altitude exceeds 15 000 ft, but in no case
less than 10 minutes’ supply;
(2) for any period when, in the event of loss of pressurisation and taking into account the
circumstances of the flight, the pressure altitude in the flight crew and cabin
compartment will be between 14 000 ft and 15 000 ft;
(3) for any period in excess of 30 minutes when the pressure altitude in the flight crew
and cabin compartment will be between 10 000 ft and 14 000 ft; and
(4) for no less than 10 minutes, in the case of aeroplanes operated at pressure altitudes
above 25 000 ft, or operated below that altitude, but under conditions that will not
allow them to descend safely to a pressure altitude of 13 000 ft within 4 minutes.
(c) Pressurised aeroplanes operated at flight altitudes above 25 000 ft shall, in addition, be
equipped with:
(1) a device to provide a warning indication to the flight crew of any loss of
pressurisation; and
(2) in the case of complex motor-powered aeroplanes, quick donning masks for flight
crew members.
SPO.IDE.A.170 AMC1 Supplemental oxygen — pressurised aeroplanes
DETERMINATION OF OXYGEN
(a) In the determination of oxygen for the routes to be flown, it is assumed that the aeroplane
will descend in accordance with the emergency procedures specified in the AFM, without
exceeding its operating limitations, to a flight altitude that will allow the flight to be
completed safely (i.e. flight altitudes ensuring adequate terrain clearance, navigational
accuracy, hazardous weather avoidance, etc.).
(b) The amount of oxygen should be determined on the basis of cabin pressure altitude, flight
duration and on the assumption that a cabin pressurisation failure will occur at the
pressure altitude or point of flight that is most critical from the standpoint of oxygen need.
(c) Following a cabin pressurisation failure, the cabin pressure altitude should be considered
