Whoa. There were 9,500 laser strikes reported to the FAA in just 2022! This year there's been 92 laser strike incidents in just the New York and New Jersey metro area. "Pointing a laser at an aircraft is a federal crime. U.S. law enforcement agencies and the Federal Aviation Administration may seek criminal and civil prosecution against violators. People who shine lasers at aircraft face FAA fines of up to $11,000 per violation and up to $30,800 for multiple laser incidents. The FAA issued $120,000 in fines for laser strikes in 2021."

New age threats to aviation safety- drones and lasers. I wonder what measures will work to mitigate these.

Every laser lab in the USA has protective eyewear. Millions of people fly every day in the USA. Why aren't pilots' unions talking about this safety issue? The pilots don't even have to wear the eye protection for more than a few minutes each flight. They could share eyewear. Of course, with millions of flights each year, the number of laser strikes is more rare than a lightning strike. The Federal Aviation Administration received thousands of reports of lasers being pointed at airplanes last year, shattering all previous records since the agency began tracking the crime. In total, 13,304 laser strikes were recorded in 2023, an increase of 41% from the previous year. More than 14% of those incidents, 1,871 to be exact, took place in California, the FAA said. The Golden State was far and away the worst offender, with 461 more incidents reported than the second-highest state, Texas. Travis Schlepp/KTLA #unionstrong #aviation #safety

A recent 10-year study examined helicopter accidents involving US National Guard noncombat flight ops. Turns out, most of the recommendations from the study apply to commercial operators, too. Find out which by watching the replay of the Sep. 14 HAI@Work webinar.

The laser light can be a threat to flight safety that a pilot may encounter anywhere in the world, especially at low altitudes, in situations such as approach and landing. Therefore, it is very important that you report to the authorities any evidence of a laser shining where you saw it.
