What people get wrong

A sample from Appendix B. The full list is in the notes.

Mixing the seat thresholds: 9 for TAWS and the crash axe, 19 for ACAS, 30 for the medical kit, 60 for megaphones, 200 for the second axe.
Forgetting that the emergency medical kit requires two cumulative conditions.
Believing weather radar is required unconditionally on every pressurised aeroplane: it is required at night or in IMC in areas of expected thunderstorms.
Forgetting the "or" between mass and seats: either criterion alone triggers the requirement.
Reasoning in flight level instead of cabin altitude.
On an unpressurised aeroplane, wrongly applying the 30-minute allowance to the flight crew: they have none above 10 000 ft.
