Under certain conditions, laser light or other bright lights (spotlights, searchlights) directed at aircraft can be a hazard. The most likely scenario is when a bright visible laser light causes distraction or temporary flash blindness to a pilot, during a critical phase of flight such as landing or takeoff. It is far less likely, though still possible, that a visible or invisible beam could cause permanent harm to a pilot's eyes. Although laser weapons are under development by armed forces, these are so specialized, expensive and controlled that it is improbable for non-military lasers to cause structural damage to an aircraft.

  • Ослепле́ние лётчиков ла́зерами (ла́зерное хулига́нство) — признанное во многих государствах противоправным действие, при котором злоумышленники, находящиеся близ аэропортов, используя лазерные указки большой мощности (от 500 до 1000 милливатт), слепят пилотов взлетающих или приземляющихся самолётов, мешая им тем самым нормально завершить манёвр. Росавиация отмечает большую опасность таких выходок для пассажиров и экипажей самолётов: Это страшно тем, что при ослеплении человек в течение нескольких секунд теряет пространственное положение… Это влияет на безопасность полёта.

  • Under certain conditions, laser light or other bright lights (spotlights, searchlights) directed at aircraft can be a hazard. The most likely scenario is when a bright visible laser light causes distraction or temporary flash blindness to a pilot, during a critical phase of flight such as landing or takeoff. It is far less likely, though still possible, that a visible or invisible beam could cause permanent harm to a pilot's eyes. Although laser weapons are under development by armed forces, these are so specialized, expensive and controlled that it is improbable for non-military lasers to cause structural damage to an aircraft. Pointing a laser at an aircraft can be hazardous to pilots, and has resulted in arrests, trials and jail sentences. It also results in calls to license or ban laser pointers. Some jurisdictions such as New South Wales, Australia have restricted laser pointers as a result of multiple incidents. (en)
