🔍 Key Concepts

• Wind direction and smoke drift relative to your survival craft • Protecting survivors from smoke, sparks, and hot residue • Maintaining visibility of the distress signal to rescuers

💭 Think About

• Think about where the smoke will travel once the flare is lit. Which side keeps the smoke and sparks away from people in the craft? • If you are holding a smoking device, which position lets you extend it outward without blowing smoke back toward the raft or boat? • Which location reduces the risk of burning the craft or inflating the raft with smoke while still making the signal visible from a distance?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which side of the craft is downwind vs. upwind • Consider crew/passenger safety from smoke inhalation and burns • Ensure the choice allows the signal to be clear to rescuers but away from the craft and occupants
