🔍 Key Concepts

• Daytime vs. nighttime visual distress signals per 33 CFR 175.130 • Differences between red flares and orange smoke signals • Which signals are approved for both day and night, and which are restricted to day only

💭 Think About

• Look at each option and ask: is this designed to be visible in darkness, daylight, or both? • Think about how color and type of signal (light vs. smoke) affect visibility at night. • Recall from your study materials which specific color/type was listed as a day use only device.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in 33 CFR 175.130 or your study table which signal type is marked "for daytime use only". • Check whether each red pyrotechnic flare (hand-held, aerial, parachute) is approved for both day and night use. • Confirm which option produces smoke rather than light, and whether smoke can be seen effectively at night.
