fuzes is not desired, a Mk 89 Mod 0 bomb spotting charge adapter can be installed in the tail fuze well of the practice bomb to provide visual observation of weapon/target impact. The Mk 80 (series) inert LDGP bombs are painted blue. The new Mk 80 (series) inert LDGP bombs have an   olive-drab   colored   exterior   and   are   thermally protected,  but  they  can  be  distinguished  from  service bombs by a blue band around the nose and by the 1-inch letters  INERT  stenciled  on  the  outside  of  the  bomb body. The  Mk  89  Mod  0  bomb  spotting  charge  adapter (fig. 1-37) is designed for use in the tail fuze well of the Mk  80  (series)  LDGP  inert  bombs.  A  practice  bomb signal cartridge is installed in the Mk 89 Mod 0, which provides visual observation (smoke) of weapon-target impact. The bomb spotting charge adapter is kept in a safe condition during ground handling by the installation of a  safety  cotter  pin  in  the  safety  pin  sleeve.  Once  the arming wire has been installed through the arming wire hole in the safety pin sleeve, the safety cotter pin must be removed. LASER GUIDED TRAINING ROUND (LGTR) The   LGTR   (fig.   1-38)   is   designed   to   provide realistic laser guided bomb (LGB) tactical training. The training   round   consists   of   a   guidance   and   control section,   pneumatic   controls   for   moveable   control surfaces,  power  supply,  and  a  standard  practice  bomb signal  cartridge.  Once  initiated,  the  system  cannot  be reset.  The  signal  cartridge  (spotting  charge)  is  impact initiated and does not require safety or cotter pins. 1-40 Figure 1-37.—Mk 89 Mod 0 bomb spotting charge adapter.
