signal by slipping the trigger screw to the left, out of the safety slot and into the firing slot. NOTE:   This   first   step   is   very   important because the signal is threaded and screwed into the end of the projector. If you don't cock the projector  before  screwing  in  the  signal,  the firing pin could be forced into the primer of the signal, possibly firing the signal prematurely. REVIEW NUMBER 1 Q1. Navy pyrotechnic devices contain what type of material? Q2. Why  are  dye-marking  devices  classified  as pyrotechnic devices? Q3. When used during the day, what color smoke is  emitted  from  the  Mk  13  Mod  0  marine smoke and illumination signal? Q4. What is the burning time for each end of the Mk 13 Mod 0 signal? Q5. You  can  identify  the  night  end  of  the  Mk  13 Mod 0 signal by the _________. Q6. List  the  components  of  the  Mk  79  Mod  0 illumination signal kit. Q7. When you activate the Mk 79 Mod 0 signal kit, the  star  is  propelled  upward  to  a  height  of ______________. Q8. What  is  the  burn  time  of  the  Mk  79  Mod  0 star? AREA AND TARGET ILLUMINATING DEVICES LEARNING OBJECTIVE: Describe the purpose and use of area and target illuminating   devices   to   include   components and operation. The illuminating devices discussed in this chapter are  designed  to  be  launched  or  dropped  from  aircraft. Aircraft  flares  are  used  to  illuminate  large  areas  for bombardment,    reconnaissance,    emergency    aircraft landing,  or  any  other  purpose  where  a  high-intensity light is required. REVIEW NUMBER 1 ANSWERS A1. Navy pyrotechnic devices contain com- bustible chemicals. A2. Dye-marking devices are classified as pyrotechnic devices because they are used for about the same purpose as the true pyrotechnic. A3. Orange smoke is emitted from the Mk 13 Mod 0   marine   smoke   and   illumination   marker when it is used during the day. A4. The burning time for each end of the Mk 13 Mod 0 signal is 20 seconds. A5. You  can  identify  the  night  end  of  the  Mk  13 Mod  0  signal  by  the  three  prominent  beads across its face. A6. The   components   of   the   Mk   79   Mod   0 illumination  signal  kit  includes  the  Mk  31 Mod  0  signal  projector,  a  plastic  bandoleer, and an instruction sheet. A7. When you activate the Mk 79 Mod 0 signal kit, the star is propelled upward to a height of 250 to 650 feet. A8. The burn time of the Mk 79 Mod 0 star is a minimum of 4 1/2 seconds. LUU-2B/B AIRCRAFT PARACHUTE FLARE The LUU-2B/B flare is 36 inches long, 4.9 inches in diameter, and weighs about 30 pounds. The flare is supplied only as an AUR, and it is shipped assembled with  drogue  trays  for  dispenser  launch.  The  flare  is hand launched, or configured for launching from IMER or ITER aircraft bomb racks. 4-5
