41
Q

Class 3b (medium-high power) lasers are:

A

Potentially dangerous if viewed directly or reflected beam with unprotected eye. Include rangefinders, pointer, illuminator and aiming lights for firearms.

42
Q

Class 4 (high energy) lasers are:

A

Pulsed, visible, near-infrared laser that produce diffuse reflection, fire, skin and eye hazards. Include industrial welders and target designator lasers.

43
Q

Safety wise class 3 and 4 lasers can be compared to:

A

Firearms

44
Q

What protective measure can aviators take to ensure laser safety?

A

Passive:
- Take cover
- Getting out of the lasers path
- Using available protective gear
- Keeping all exposed skin covered to prevent burns

Active:
- Using countermeasures
- Applying evasive action
- Scanning with one eye or monocular optics
-Minimizing the use of binoculars

45
Q

How much exposure time is required to cause miosis?

A

Dependent on amount of exposure

63
Q

WARNING: Exercise extreme caution when flying from ____ ambient light conditions to ____ ambient light conditions.

Under _____ light conditions the google loose some acuity that they have under _____ light conditions.

Flying from _____ to ____ light conditions quickly reduces the sharpness and definition of terrain images.

A

Hight , Low

Low , High

High , Low

64
Q

High moon elevation provides:
