This document is intended to give guidance to users@ regulators and persons in the aviation field who may be affected by the potential visual interference effects of lasers aimed at aircraft by the general public. The potential effects include startle (distraction@ disruption@ disorientation@ and operational incapacitation)@ glare@ and flashblindness. This document provides mitigation strategies against such effects@ including operational procedures@ pilot education@ and the use of Laser Glare Protection. Prevention of harm from laser eye injuries is discussed but is not a focus of this document@ due to the extremely low likelihood of injurious levels of laser light in typical aircraft illumination scenarios. Devices for detecting and reporting hazardous laser illuminations are briefly described in Appendix D@ but are not a focus of this document. Some information in this document may also be useful for non-aviation users@ such as persons driving vehicles. Additional information can be found in ANSI Z136.6@ ??Safe Use of Lasers Outdoors??. Purpose The goal of pilot education is a reduction in risk to operational efficiency of the pilot. This is achieved by developing mitigation strategies for various risk groups such as commercial and law enforcement pilots@ and communicating these to pilots. Because laser illuminations affect pilots@ they need tools to successfully mitigate and handle an adverse event during a critical phase of flight. Due to the nature of laser illuminations ?C the pilot is only ??hit?? with light ?C with education and training a pilot can successfully overcome the effects and have a safe outcome. As a last option@ pilots may further mitigate the effects of a laser illumination event using appropriate Laser Glare Protection (LGP). This document gives guidance as to when LGP is appropriate@ the advantages and disadvantages of various types of LGP@ and how to select and evaluate LGP for use in a specific cockpit prior to deployment
