Laser Incident Information and Reporting

"Shining a laser into the cockpit of an aircraft is a serious safety risk and violates federal law.

Unfortunately, reported incidents of lasers aimed at aircraft are steadily increasing.

The FAA is working with law enforcement agencies across the country to pursue monetary civil penalties against individuals who purposely try to interfere with a flight crew by aiming a laser into an aircraft cockpit.."
