Hi all,
have been to a symposium about laserdangers to employs lately.
There were new assests and tests done and the findings arenīt to nice for pilots.
Even an exposure of 100 msec (just a flash on the eye) leads to afterimmages and problems to read i.e. QNH-Values or other cockpit information - ranging around 30 sec in the middle to nearly two minutes!
All test done with laserenergy which wasnīt able to harm the eye - so with high power lasers the times surely will be longer....
If you get targeted at - donīt look for the laser!!!!
Fly safe
