Laser Strike Safety

Aiming a Laser at An Aircraft: A Dangerous and Illegal Act

Aiming a laser at an aircraft is a federal offence. Pointing a laser at an aircraft can temporarily blind the pilots and put people on board at serious risk.

Intentionally shining a laser at an aircraft distracts the pilot and interferes with their ability to safely land.

If you are convicted of intentionally interfering with an aircraft by using a laser, you could face up to $100,000 in fines and/or up to five years in prison.

If you see someone pointing a laser at an aircraft, report it immediately to the local police.
