When you do the crew life vest preflight, the focus is on readiness: the vest must be secure, highly visible, and protected from damage so it can be deployed quickly in an emergency. The best checks are to ensure the vest is secured in its bag or pouch, that the vest color is a bright orange or yellow for easy spotting, and that the pouch shows no rips, holes, or tears that could compromise protection or deployment. These steps keep the vest ready, visible, and intact.

Size and weight aren’t part of this preflight, and inflating the vest isn’t done until use. While accessibility from a seat pocket is important in practice, the critical factors for the preflight are securing the vest, its visibility color, and the integrity of the pouch.
