Distress pyrotechnics ( Russian Subtitles)

Distress pyrotechnics come in various types: handheld, buoyant, or as parachute rockets. The red parachute rocket is designed for long range signaling. During the day the visibility of the flare is up to 8 nautical miles and at night up to 21 nautical miles. The rocket carries its payload to a height of 984 feet and then ejects a red flare. The burning time is 40 seconds at candelas. The red hand flare is used for short range signaling situations. During a clear dark night the visibility of the flare is 5 nautical miles at sea level and 10 nautical miles from an aircraft. In daylight the visibility is reduced. The burning time is 60 seconds at a min. of candelas, and the flare is red. The buoyant orange smoke signal is used in daylight only, to pinpoint the distress position to a searching aircraft. It emits dense orange smoke for about 2 minutes. It is very important to read the instructions for use on each distress signal carefully. Store your signaling devices in a marked water
