I'm going to "Laser" a pilot.
Hello FBI surveillance software?
Anyway, I am now in possession of one brand new "Jasper" DPSS 5mw laser from bigha.com. That's the same laser used in the recent media hyped incidents at KTEB. I'm going to test the claims that pilots can be visually impaired empirically. (Guess who the pilot is.) The weather is perfect for his. -20 and clear. I plan to try it at distance of about 3500' which is as close as anyone is likely to get to a landing plane. I happen to work near a perfect stretch of parking lot (one of the best places in a busy metropolis to land if you really have to) which is perfect for this. It's very runway-like. I'm going to do three things: 1. Measure the size of the beam at a measured distance. 2. Look into the beam for about 500ms after conditioning my eyes to usual night flying light levels. 3. Have a skilled pistol marksman (cop friend) try to accurately hold the beam steady at a measured distance both free hand and with support and see what the wiggle area is. If anyone else can think of anything else they'd like to see tried (no, not in *my* plane) please post it here. This isn't meant to be a scientific experiment or to become information used instead of any government research or guidelines. OK? moo |
