Laser Helicopter
Could a laser pointer crash an airplane by blinding the pilot?
I have heard that laser pointers could crash a helicopter or perhaps a small plane. Would it be possible that a laser pointer could crash a larger plane – a 737 for example – if it were flying fairly low over a city towards an airport? I realize the chances would be low, but is it conceivable?
No, not even the helicopter or small plane. Even green laser pointers ( I have one) or the kind used to mount on firearms (have one of those also) aren’t really powerful enough to blind. The only laser aviation hazard I know of is the green laser on the top of the Pyramid in Las Vegas. That one is far more powerful than any consumer product but is only mentioned as something to avoid. Pilots encountering a laser need only look away.
