Where do you stow the POB after use?

• A. On the floor near the aisle
• B. In the seat pocket of a passenger
• C. In the overhead bin
• D. Back in its proper location

Answer: (D)

Returning a portable oxygen bottle to its proper location after use keeps safety equipment secure, accessible, and ready for the next need. When you stow the POB in its designated place, it won’t roll, fall, or become a hazard in the cabin, and crew can locate it quickly in an emergency. This also keeps aisles and seats clear for passengers and reduces the chance of damage to the equipment.

Putting it on the floor near the aisle or in a passenger seat pocket can create tripping hazards and block important spaces, while placing it in an overhead bin isn’t the correct method for securing this equipment and can impede quick access when needed. Stowing it properly aligns with safety procedures and ensures the POB remains in a ready, secure state.
