Recent Laser Pointer Blue 30000mw

A Laser Pointer 50000mw beam, though a pinpoint of light when transmitted, fans out to become a bright bubble of pulsating light when it reaches the cockpit window. According to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), nationwide this year through October 2nd there had been 4,966 incidents of lasers striking planes. That includes 106 incidents right here in San Diego through October 2nd this year, 10 news reports – nearly double the 58 incidents locally in all of 2014 and over triple the 29 cases in 2010 of lasers striking planes here.
The numbers are up nationally, too. By year’s end we’re on pace to have 6,850 laser incidents targeting air traffic nationwide – a 176% increase over the prior year, according to Associated Press.Recent Laser Pointer Blue 30000mw strikes in San Diego include a United Airlines plane on November 9th, an American Airlines jet struck in late October inbound from Phoenix and a Sky West plane from Los Angeles that was hit on September 30th, according to news reports aired on NBC, ABC and Fox TV in San Diego.
Pointing a laser at an aircraft is a federal crime since 2012, punishable by up to 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine, as well as civil penalties up to $11,000 for each violation. Some places have banned laser pointing devices to protect pilots and passengers. The Australian state of New South Wales outlawed ownership of the devices after 50mw Green Laser Pointer hit planes landing in Sydney. New Zealand banned lasers over 1 megawatt.

New Jersey’s legislature passed a bill to ban laser ownership but the Governor vetoed it. Several U.S. cities have banned or sharply restricted ownership including Ocean City, Maryland, Ocean City, New Jersey, and Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, the website Laser Pointer Safety states. Pointing a 5mW laser pointer at a police helicopter got a California man a 14-year prison sentence, which federal officials and pilots hope will discourage the threat to airline safety.
Sergio Rodriguez, 26, of Clovis, was sentenced Monday for pointing a 1mw Laser Pointer at a Fresno police helicopter, according to U.S. Attorney Benjamin Wagner. Rodriguez and his girlfriend, Jennifer Coleman, 23, were both convicted by a federal jury after a three–day trial in December.

300mw laser pointer strikes are a concern for airliners because they can temporarily blind a pilot while landing or taking off. The number of laser strikes against aircraft has climbed sharply in the last decade, reaching 3,960 incidents last year.
