Falcon 7X Crew Reported Laser Light

The FAA is investigating a blue laser light reported by a Falcon 7X crew at Teterboro Airport.  

According to the FAA, the crew of Air Alsie Flight 6771, noticed a blue laser aimed at or in the direction of their aircraft on November 8th around 5 p.m.

No injuries were reported. The FAA informed local law enforcement of the incident.

"When aimed at an aircraft from the ground, the powerful beam of light from a handheld laser can travel more than a mile and illuminate a cockpit, disorienting and temporarily blinding pilots," the FBI said in a 2014 news release. 

"Those who have been subject to such attacks have described them as the equivalent of a camera flash going off in a pitch black car at night."
