Wilbur ★ Posted June 25, 2015 Share #7 Posted June 25, 2015 (edited) Well, it is a major distraction in the cockpit when some jackwagon manages to hit you. Other than that, no biggy. We report it, sometimes the cops arrest the guy, sometimes they don't even respond. People would get more excited in the days we could lock lasers on them.

LoneWolf Posted June 26, 2015 Share #10 Posted June 26, 2015 Laser beams spread out over a distance, and can reflect off cockpit glass. A strong green laser can not only temporarily blind a pilot, but a strong enough one can, in theory, cause permanent eye damage.So far, pilots have recovered, but the potential for loss of control of an aircraft resulting in injury is there. Several chopper pilots have already experienced temporary blindness from some jackwagon not smart enough to understand what they're doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoneWolf Posted June 26, 2015 Share #13 Posted June 26, 2015 Is this true? It sounds like an old wives tale.Try shining a commercial handheld green laser into your eyes, and find out.Truth is, almost any fool can buy a fairly hefty powered laser. Some of which can burn a hole in paper at close range. There's not a whole lot of regulation, and there's always some idiot that, because they can buy it easily, thinks they basically bought a flashlight with a pretty color.It's a federal offense to shine an aircraft with a laser. Since people are often hard to trace/catch, they have made some harsh examples of ones they managed to track down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
