New Database Export
Capabilities Are Here!
In the May 2007 issue of CALLBACK (#329), we
announced a pending enhancement of the ASRS
Database Online (http://asrs.arc.nasa.gov) – the
capability to export incident record downloads to
Microsoft Excel (.xls) or Comma Separated Value
(.csv) formats. This enhancement was implemented
on schedule in June. ASRS Online Database users
now have the choice of several convenient formats
for analyzing and sorting incident records.
To access the new export capabilities, users should
perform a database search query using online
search parameters. Clicking on the “Run Search”
button will bring up the Search Results Page
and the options, “Export to Excel” and “Export to
Comma Separated Values.” If the incident record
output is desired in a Microsoft Word format,
selecting the “View Reports”/ “Open in MS Word”
options will result in a Word output file.
Exports in the .xls, .csv, and Word formats will be
limited to 10,000 incident records per download, due
to speed and time considerations. The new export
capabilities are intended to serve a wide community
of data users.
As always, we would appreciate your feedback about
the latest ASRS Database Online enhancement.
Number 332 August 2007
Laser illumination of aircraft cockpits may cause
a number of hazardous effects, including pilot
distraction, glare, after-image flash blindness,
and in extreme circumstances, persistent visual
impairment and inability to perform flight duties.
According to the Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA)
Operations Bulletin 2007-04, lasers continue to be a
threat to aviation. During the first five months of 2007,
over 200 “lasing” incidents were reported despite law
enforcement efforts to deter and apprehend those
who intentionally illuminate cockpits with lasers.
The rise in laser incidents in recent years is believed
to be due to the proliferation and increasing
sophistication of laser devices available to the
general public. On January 11, 2005, the FAA issued
Advisory Circular (AC) No. 70-2, Reporting of Laser
Illumination of Aircraft, in response to numerous
documented incidents of unauthorized illumination
of aircraft by lasers. This AC provides guidance
to air crews on the reporting of laser incidents,
and recommends mitigation actions to be taken to
ensure continued safe and orderly flight operations.
A review of laser incidents submitted to ASRS
during the past year-and-a-half provides compelling
evidence of the effects of sudden laser illumination
in the cockpit. For one First Officer (the Pilot Flying),
a laser flash produced a lingering after-image.
■ Turning base to final, Runway 9R, I saw a very brief,
bright green flash about 5 miles NNE of our position, in
my right eye. Although not painful, I could feel an unusual
sensation in my eye. The light was distracting and caused
an ‘after- image’ to remain in my visual field for about 20
minutes after exposure. I was Pilot Flying, and was able to
continue and land normally. After landing, I telephoned my
airline’s Operations Center to inform them of the event, and
they forwarded my report to TRACON...
A Flight Instructor and student were temporarily blinded
by a laser aimed at their aircraft.
■ My student and I were in cruise and we both noticed a
glare on our left passenger window. Both of us turned to
look at what was causing it and saw a ground-based laser
which was striking our aircraft. It was turned off and then
on a total of 3 times before it stopped. The fact that it was
turned on and off more than once and that it struck us each
time caused us to believe it was intentional. We reported it
to Approach...It was blinding but not debilitating.
In an especially graphic laser event reported to ASRS, a
Captain suffered blistering and temporary vision loss as
the result of a laser incident at FL360. More from the First
Officer’s report:
■ As I turned my gaze from [the] right side cockpit
window, I observed a reflected flash from the left side of
the cockpit. The Captain was looking out of the left cockpit
side window at the same moment and asked me if I saw
‘that flash.’ I informed him that I only saw the reflection...
The Captain then asked rhetorically if that might have
been one of those unauthorized lasers. This made it clear to
me that he had observed something far more intense than
I had perceived. Based upon the...sensations the Captain
was feeling in his eyes and with his suggestion, I made an
