Control Measures for Laser Safety in the Navigable Airspace
ARP5572A
This SAE Aerospace Recommended Practice (ARP) provides information and guidance for the control of hazardous laser energy in the navigable airspace.
This ARP does not address techniqies that pilots can apply to mitigate laser illuminations during a critical phase of flight. Such mitigation strategies are described in ARP6378.
Rationale:
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) submitted a written request to SAE for assistance in developing standards and regulations concerning outdoor laser operations. This SAE Aerospace Recommended Practice (ARP) document provides guidance for control measures to be used optimally during operations of a laser system outdoors in the navigable airspace. It also recommends the control measure requirements for different outdoor laser systems.
