Which PFD will be considered readily accessible?

A personal flotation device (PFD) is considered readily accessible if it is stored in a location that allows for quick and easy retrieval in an emergency. This typically means the PFD should not be stowed away in a locked compartment or under other gear. Instead, it should be on deck or in a designated area that can be reached without delay. Additionally, all passengers should be informed of the PFD's location.
