Description / Abstract:
This document is intended to be used for laser systems mounted
on aircraft and intended for use in the navigable airspace. This
does not include lasers onboard aircraft where the beam is
contained within an enclosure so that the beam cannot enter into
airspace, nor does it include lasers from satellites and spacecraft
in outer space. It may be used in conjunction with: AS4970,
ARP5535, ARP5572, ARP5293, AND THE ANSI Z136 laser safety
standards.
Purpose
The purpose of this document is to provide guidance to
regulatory and approving authorities on issues specific to the use
of aircraft-mounted laser systems designed for use into navigable
airspace.
