Hi Phoinix,
I just say, if you havenīt been hit in the eye you are
1st - lucky
2nd - donīt try to calm things down you donīt know anything of!
Iīve been hit directly in the eye looking down at the time.
I got disorientated and kind of seasick within a second and wasnīt able to perform tasks for nearly two minutes - luckily I was just the copilot....
Not been able to see / read cockpitinformation for this timespan were also the findings of the tests performed with 100 msec laser-illumination (with not harmful power)
So whoever is reading this thread - donīt listen to people who donīt have experiance and treat laserattacks as non hazard - a laserattack can hurt - and even kill you, depending on flightconditions, height, time of exposure and so on!
Try to avoid looking into the beam - use autopilot, if fitted, when you expect attacks, try to shield your eyes and look into the cockpit!
If possible - turn away!
