Sgt. Dan Cunningham, a police helicopter pilot in St. Louis, said beams from small laser pointers can be seen from almost a mile away. He told the AP that his police helicopter has become a target for Laser Pointer for sale in recent years.
"I don't know that anybody realizes how much of an effect it has on an aircraft," he said. "It completely blinds you."
A pointer's thin beam can expand to a few feet in diameter as the light travels from the ground to a targeted plane. This can cause vision problems for pilots and create dangerous situations in the air, said Capt. Sean Cassidy, first vice president of the Air Line Pilots Association, International, according to NBC News.
"If you were driving a car down a dark road and someone shines a spotlight in your face, your eyes might not be permanently damaged, but you would be seeing spots, and it would certainly make it hard to drive the car safely," he said. "Now just imagine that in an airplane."
The FBI's campaign is the result of a partnership with the Federal Aviation Administration, the pilots association and others. The groups hope to reduce 3000mw Green Laser attacks through digital billboards, radio public service announcements and social media.
The FBI launched a similar 60-day program in 12 U.S. cities in February; the same $10,000 reward was offered then, but the most recent campaign will extend the program to all 56 of the FBI's field offices
A Coast Guard helicopter flying over Arcata was targeted by an individual with a Blue Laser Pointer 10000mw Friday evening.
The MH-65D Dolphin crew was returning from an operation in southern California when the incident occurred. The laser shined directly in the eyes of both pilots and appeared to come from Janes Road at Upper Bay Road in Arcata.
Lieutenant Josh Smith was one of the pilots. "We were at approximately 1500 feet returning to the base when a green laser shined from left to right across the cockpit, shining in both our eyes (the pilots). We tried not to look at the laser, but flying on the instruments while looking away from it (the laser) is very difficult." Coast Guard pilots often fly solely by looking at the cockpit instruments without outside visual cues, but are trained to look away from a laser targeting the aircraft to protect their eyesight. Even if not directly hit by a laser, being forced to look away from the instruments can result in the pilot literally flying blind.
