Where is the AED located on the aircraft?

Explanation:
AEDs are placed so a crew member can reach one quickly from the main cabin and have a backup unit in a separate area. In this configuration, one AED is stored below the passenger seats in the XR area for rapid access directly from the cabin, while a second AED is kept in the LR area—the cargo hold—to provide redundancy and ensure an additional accessible unit even if the front cabin area is blocked or occupied. This distribution supports fast defibrillation in an in-flight emergency and avoids less accessible or restricted locations like lavatories or the cockpit.
