| Abstract | Illumination of civilian and military aircraft by laser beams in the National Airspace System (NAS) has concerned the aviation community for nearly two decades. The principal concern is the affect laser exposure may have on flight crew personnel during landing and departure maneuvers when operational requirements are critical. This study examines the frequency of aviation-related laser event reports by month, day of the week, and time of day. |
