Your Christmas lights could blind airplane pilots, FAA says
If you’re planning to dazzle your neighbors with laser holiday lighting this month, your friendly overhead airline pilots and the Federal Aviation Administration are kindly asking that you not blind them. (www.sfgate.com) 更多...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Clark Griswold, tone it down!
Must be a slow news day.
I haven't seen any commercials for the laser Star Shower lights this year, but I have seen ones for LED shows. I wonder if someone somewhere learned that the laser variety could cause problems for pilots and decided to stop making/selling them?
And those of you shooting down drones because they could be part of an ISIS plot to use your backyard as a bombing range are kindly asked to aim away from nearby airports and flight paths. Thank you.
Also a distraction to drivers for some pointed towards street.
Give me a break. Some Grinch in the FAA has nothing to do.
So has any manufacturer of these laser lights offered any insight as to the strength/power of the beams. My guess is that they are very low power when compared to commercial units? The $40 units at home depot can’t send a beam further than about 300’ however, if your house is on/under the approach/departure path it’s wise not to point them up. The 10nm mile from an aerodrome is however fact.
