The MK-79 kit can be fired to an altitude of 250 ft to what maximum altitude?

• A. 450
• B. 650
• C. 700
• D. 750

Answer: (B)

The MK-79 signaling flare is designed to rise to a specific height range so its light is visible for rescue. It can be fired to start around 250 feet and climb to a maximum of about 650 feet. That upper limit comes from the flare’s propulsion and burn characteristics, which are calibrated to provide a bright signal long enough to be seen over water and terrain without drifting too far or burning out too quickly. Among the options, 650 feet is the height that matches this device’s maximum altitude. The other numbers are outside the device’s published range, either too low to be seen effectively or too high to maintain stable, bright signaling.
