Abstract:

Incidents involving laser illumination of aircraft in the National Airspace System have raised concerns within the aviation community for more than a decade. The principal concern is the visual effect laser illumination may have on flight crew performance during terminal operations, such as landing and departure maneuvers, when operational activities are extremely critical. This 3-year study examines the frequency and rate of aviation-related laser incidents by year and location.
