Pair. 

(iv) Protective latex gloves or equiv-

alent nonpermeable gloves may be 
placed in the first aid kit or in a loca-
tion that is readily accessible to crew-
members. 

(2) A crash axe carried so as to be ac-

cessible to the crew but inaccessible to 
passengers during normal operations. 

(3) Signs that are visible to all occu-

pants to notify them when smoking is 
prohibited and when safety belts 
should be fastened. The signs must be 
so constructed that they can be turned 
on and off by a crewmember. They 
must be turned on for each takeoff and 
each landing and when otherwise con-
sidered to be necessary by the pilot in 
command. 

(4) The additional emergency equip-

ment specified in appendix A of this 
part. 

(b) 

Megaphones. 

Each passenger-car-

rying airplane must have a portable 
battery-powered megaphone or mega-
phones readily accessible to the crew-
members assigned to direct emergency 
evacuation, installed as follows: 

(1) One megaphone on each airplane 

with a seating capacity of more than 60 
and less than 100 passengers, at the 
most rearward location in the pas-
senger cabin where it would be readily 
accessible to a normal flight attendant 
seat. However, the Administrator may 
grant a deviation from the require-
ments of this paragraph if the Adminis-
trator finds that a different location 
would be more useful for evacuation of 
persons during an emergency. 

(2) Two megaphones in the passenger 

cabin on each airplane with a seating 
capacity of more than 99 and less than 
200 passengers, one installed at the for-
ward end and the other at the most 
rearward location where it would be 
readily accessible to a normal flight 
attendant seat. 

(3) Three megaphones in the pas-

senger cabin on each airplane with a 
seating capacity of more than 199 pas-
sengers, one installed at the forward 
end, one installed at the most rearward 
location where it would be readily ac-
cessible to a normal flight attendant 
seat, and one installed in a readily ac-
cessible location in the mid-section of 
the airplane.
