This SAE Aerospace Recommended Practice (ARP) provides information and guidance for
the control of hazardous laser energy in the navigable airspace. This document provides
guidance to all laser proponents and the FAA on the optimal use of control measures during
propagation of a laser beam in the navigable airspace. This document does not cover
control measures already set forth in federal, state, and local regulations for the safe
operations of lasers. FAA will review control measures in their aeronautical study of
proposed outdoor laser operations.
1.1 Purpose:
The purpose of this document is to establish a recommended practice for controlling laser
systems to ensure the safe co-existence of aircraft operations and various types of laser
activities. This document describes means for mitigating hazards related to laser beam
propagation in the navigable airspace.
1.2 Field of Application:
SAE AS4970 and ANSI Z136.6 provide guidance and information for the evaluation of
laser operations in navigable airspace. Due to operational/mission requirements, some
laser beams may exceed the maximum permissible exposure (MPE) limits or visual
interference levels as defined in FAA Order 7400.2, ANSI Z136.1, and ANSI Z136.6.
Control measures designed to reduce the laser beam hazards to air navigation are
discussed.strRefField
