On an A320, where is the AED located?

• A. LH OHB Aft MC
• B. LH Underfloor Compartment
• C. RH OHB Aft MC
• D. LH OHB Fwd MC

Answer: (A)

The AED on an A320 is stored in the left-hand overhead bin aft of the mid cabin. This placement ensures it’s quickly reachable by crew in the forward and mid cabin during a medical emergency, while staying protected and out of the way of passengers. The left side aligns with standard crew access paths and avoids busy galley and lavatory areas. Underfloor compartments are not suitable for rapid access to life-saving equipment, and placing it in a right-hand bin or forward location would not offer the same balanced access for the cabin crew across the mid and aft sections.
