What should you verify about the fire extinguisher's tag or gauge during a pre-trip inspection?
Pick an answer
Correct!
Not quite. The correct answer is highlighted.
Correct answer to question 92 (Passenger): That it shows a current inspection date and the gauge reads in the charged range
Why
An extinguisher that's present but past its inspection date or reading low on the gauge may not actually work when needed, so both the tag and the gauge need checking, not just whether it's on board.
