Apparently when you point a laser pointer at a flying aircraft, it is extremely sensitive and completely amplifies it's effects making it extremely distracting to the pilot as shown above. Hypothetically, not saying that i've done this more than a hand full of times, but if you pointed a laser pointer at a cockpit and just continued to point it and the plane crashed, how would they ever even find out who did it? How would you even get caught?

They will catch you with Lazer tracking devices. I would be Leary of posting shit like That you don't want people to think your wanting to blind airliners with lazers.

They typically check FB and the welfare department roles. In almost every case where the culprit has been found, it has been a low life, out of work, drain on society that usually lives with their parent and has no social life except on FB where they post their deed so their one friend can tell them how awesome they are for endangering the aircraft occupants

Well, when a moron like you point the laser to the aircraft, there is sharp beam of light between you and the aircraft, but pilot has a radio to call the police. If laser is powerful enough to distract the pilot, the beam will be visible and pointing at you. That's why only complete morons do that, you see..  ;D

When was the last time you were on a plane? They're extremely high in the air to the point where you can't even see people walking on the ground. Even when they're not at the peak of their flight. "Hello police, there is a light down there somewhere" Is it literally going to leave a beam that far? Even then idk.

Yes.. it's blatantly fucking obvious when someone is pointing a laser pointer up at the sky.

People on the ground will know where you are and people in the air will, too.

That's why they are so absolutely awesome for astronomy

"Point the telescope at that star"

"Which fucking one of the thousands?"

Turn laser pointer on.   Point your seemingly infinite beam right at it.

"Oh that one"

This is not my intention lol. I’m just wondering how they’d go about finding the person IF they even could. Not trying to put ideas in anyone’s head though. I don’t want to hear on the news tomorrow that somebody did this because of getbig. I agree tho, they most likely would get caught. They’d root back street cameras. Witnesses, etc. there’s always someone watching

It doesn’t matter. Pilots don’t fly planes anyways. It’s all autonomous. They just take the controls in case of emergency.

However posting about it on a bodybuilding forum is still a good way to get caught.

Don’t pilots still land the plane regardless? It’s only automated in the air correct? I’m sure they’re assisted but they have to have some measure of skill in there somewhere.

before taking off, these pilots already have their routes and destination programmed and once they take off, usually after 5 minutes or so, the Auto pilot is engaged and both the course and heading is known to the auto pilot, but for the majority of the time, it is required for pilots to manually Land the plane on final approach, which makes senses. you need Human intervention for the unforeseen and the unpredictable.

And you hurry to prove that you really are a moron, didn't you? Do you think that the problem is the morons who use laser pointers to illumine a belly of the extremely high flying plane? Real problem is the morons who use laser pointers to blind pilots who are landing or taking of from the airfield, while they are extremely near the moron and see where he is standing. "Hello police, there is a moron with the laser pointer at the another end of the light beam you see, if you look at the trailer park at south-west ..." There is group of two to three people in the cockpit, they aren't idiots like you, and they have binoculars to use if they need to locate you.

Sorry I didn’t know you were an expert on where most laser pointer incidents happen  ::)  . Freudian slip? The laser pointer is able to reach the cockpit from the ground, hence why there are warning signs to not point lasers at the airplane. Not sure they’d have the signs or any problems if the people who wanted to point the lasers were doing so from 100 feet from the landing strip  ::) get real. I’m talking about in the ground while the plane is in flight and didn’t just take off.

Punishment for lazzzer pointer crimes is extremely harsh... usually a three letter agency tracks down the perpe-traitor who is slowly being run over by a modified M1 Abrams tank.
Estimated cost for the tax payer - approximately 40 Million dollars.

I’m a former airline pilot and this pretty true. The pilots are allowed to “hand fly” without the autopilot for as long as they want. Generally most pilots hand fly to around 10,000 feet.  Most kick off the autopilot on final approach.  That’s is the way most domestic carriers operate.  However I had a few friends fly for Mideast carriers and they require autopilot use  at 400feet after takeoff and it must remain in until ~100 feet landing.  So as you can image a lot of their hand flying proficiency is lost. As far as laser pointers go I’m not sure how they are caught but generally these idiots will continue to tag plane after pane on short final.  Can’t imagine most people doing this are very intelligent.

lol i've always had so many questions for pilots. Like are you ever too fast on pace to land and don't have enough runway for your landing? Like what the fuck do you do then? Or you accidentally knick the water while you're slowing down right above it etc etc

Apparently when you point a laser pointer at a flying aircraft, it is extremely sensitive and completely amplifies it's effects

After the Nazis invented lasers they were always looking for ways to amplify them.  When they told Goring about the amplification effect of airplane cockpits he ordered a test to be carried out on a series of Messerschmitts all parked in a row and the beam which came out of the 9th one careened off  the base's human experimentation building and struck the prototype Dornier 217 "Angry Duck", delaying production at a critical stage and effectively guaranteeing Germany's inferiority in the maritime air contest.  That's how the Battle of Briton was lost before it ever began.

All this is bullshit.  90% of the flight time, the plane is on auto pilot.

You want to point lasers at planes and get away with it... do it from a moving car out on some lonely country road.  Make sure you are not at a busy intersection with cameras watching you.

A laser goes back to the point of origin. That's why it has limited application in the military on small arms.  They are great for concealed carry or police work as a sighting device.  To review if you are evil enough to endanger people's lives, tracking the origin of the laser isn't that hard to get the coordinates.
