JAR-OPS 1.745 Aviation First Aid Kit
About JAR-OPS 1.745 Aviation First Aid Kit
JAR-OPS 1 is the Joint Aviation Requirement for the operation of commercial air transport (aeroplanes). Section 1.745 of JAR-OPS addresses first aid kit requirements.
We also supply a Helicopter First Aid Kit.
JAR-OPS 1.745 First Aid Kits
a) An operator shall not operate an aeroplane unless it is equipped with first aid kits, readily accessible for use, to the following scale:

| 0 to 99 | 1 |
| 100 to 199 | 2 |
| 200 to 299 | 3 |

b) An operator shall ensure that first-aid kits are:
- Inspected periodically to confirm, to the extent possible, that contents are maintained in the condition necessary for their intended use; and
- Replenished at regular intervals, in accordance with instructions contained on their labels, or as circumstances warrant.
JAR-OPS 1 has nothing to say about the contents of an aviation first kit, however kit contents are addressed by the JAA’s Acceptable Means of Compliance (AMC). The AMC recommends that the following items should be included in the First-Aid Kits:
- Bandages (unspecified)

- Wound dressings, large and small
- Adhesive tape, safety pins and scissors
- Small adhesive dressings
- Antiseptic wound cleaner

- Ground/Air visual signal code for use by survivors.

NOTE: An eye irrigator whilst not required to be carried in the first-aid kit should, where possible, be available for use on the ground.
