This document applies to laser proponents involved with the use of laser systems outdoors. It may be used in conjunction with AS4970, ARP5535, and ARP5572 and the ANSI Z136 series of laser safety standards.

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.

This document provides requirements and guidance for laser proponents and aviation authorities to determine the criteria that laser hazard control measures shall meet for the operation of an outdoor laser system in navigable airspace. This document has been developed to be used for a wide range of outdoor laser hazard control measures from completely manual systems to those with various levels of automation. This document applies to laser propagation which may expose persons in navigable airspace to laser energy above the applicable maximum permissible exposure limit or which emits visible light in excess of the visual interference limits in the applicable Laser-Free, Critical, and Sensitive Hazard Zones. The document does not cover systems intended to deliberately aim and or track lasers at aircraft, such as Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) approved purposes, including visual warning systems, search and rescue, etc.

This document applies to safety observers or spotters involved with the use of outdoor laser systems. It may be used in conjunction with SAE Aerospace Standard (AS4970) “Human Factors Considerations for Outdoor Laser Operations in the Navigable Airspace.” Additional control measures may be applicable and are listed in ANSI Z136.6.

This document applies to regulatory/approving authorities involved with decisions regarding the use of HIL directed into the navigable airspace. For the purpose of this document, lights greater than 0.25 million candlepower meet the minimum threshold of an HIL. Lights not directed or reflected into the navigable airspace are not usually considered to interfere with aircraft operations. Laser systems are beyond the scope of this document.

This document sets forth several acceptable methods of laser beam divergence measurement techniques.

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.

This document provides guidance for laser operators and aviation authorities to determine the performance criteria that laser hazard control measures shall meet for the operation of an outdoor laser system in navigable airspace. The document does not cover systems intended to deliberately aim and or track lasers at aircraft such as FAA approved purposes, including visual warning systems, search and rescue, etc. Aircraft operations to be protected include all types that can be reasonably expected to operate in the affected area, which are traveling at speeds and altitudes defined in the Performance/Functional Requirements section. This document does not address all possible aircraft operations, (e.g., the operation of stealth, high-speed (> Mach 1), unmanned aircraft systems, aircraft above 60 000 feet MSL, etc.), including aircraft operating under a waiver from FAA regulations.

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.
