Guidance
on the Use of Lasers on Airports to Harass Hazardous Wildlife
|
In
the last several months we have received a lot of questions concerning
FAA guidance on the use of lasers on airports to harass hazardous
wildlife.
There are 2 documents that provide FAA guidance on outdoor laser use
around
airports.
FAA Advisory Circular 70-1 Outdoor Laser
Operations, (12-30-04) provides
information for those proponents planning to conduct outdoor laser
operations that may affect aircraft operations in the National Airspace
System (NAS). Also, the AC explains why notification to the Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA) is necessary, how to notify the FAA of
the
planned laser operation, and what action the FAA will take to respond
to
such notifications.
FAA
Order 7400.2F - Procedures for Handling Airspace Matters.
[Effective
Date: February 16, 2006 Includes Change 1, Effective August 3, 2006].
Part
6, Chapter 29 prescribes policy, responsibilities, and guidelines for
processing a Notice of Proposed Outdoor Laser Operations and
determining
the potential effect of outdoor laser activities on users of the
National
Airspace System.
