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. Purpose: The purpose of this document is to describe the issues@ duties@ and training of laser proponents specific to the use of lasers in navigable airspace. It is assumed that the laser proponent is well versed on the safe use of lasers indoors. Field of Application: AS4970 and ANSI Z136.6 provide guidance and information for the evaluation of laser operations in navigable airspace. Due to operational/mission requirements@ some laser beams exceed the maximum permissible exposure (MPE) limits or visual interference levels as defined in FAA Order 7400.2@ ANSI Z136.1@ and ANSI Z136.6. For this reason@ mitigation and/or control measures may be required.
