I don't see why people still argue that 'it can't be that bad'... Lasing an aircraft is a moronic thing to do.. period... at any power.
If someone shined a laser at me on final approach from 350', I'd likely land on top of them --- No trial !!!
As a plane approaches the runway, the nose is usually raised to increase lift and drag making it more difficult to hit the pilot's eyes.
I'd still like to land on the ba$t@rd because he is an idiot.
