Plane flashed by laser
Yesterday a plane from Air Canada was blindet by a green beam from a handheld laser pointer.
Canadian Pilots now call for better labeling and tougher penalities for blinding.
Labeling is in my opionion not the problem. Just higher penalities and more education ist the only way.
People often don’t know how dangerous it is to blind a Pilot while landing a fully seated passenger plane. Often they don’t want to blind, just target the plane, but with this distance a few mm at the pointer are meters at the plane.
Notice: You play with lives!
