Who provides clearance to use the Ancillary Kit?

Who provides clearance to use the Ancillary Kit?

• A. Captain
• B. POC (physician on call)
• C. Flight Attendant
• D. Passenger's family

Answer: (B)

Clearance to use the Ancillary Kit comes from the physician on call. A medical professional who is available to consult during the flight reviews the passenger’s condition, weighs contraindications, and confirms that using a kit item is medically appropriate. The captain handles flight operations and coordination, but does not authorize medical interventions. Flight attendants follow the physician‑on‑call’s guidance and airline medical protocols, not personal or family approvals. This arrangement ensures patient safety, regulatory compliance, and proper medical oversight for onboard care.
