Abstract: Laser attacks against airplanes seem to be significant threat for air traffic today. Irradiation of the windshield of airplane cockpit can cause serious effects that can decrease pilot ability to control the airplane. Therefore the paper deals with the necessary steps for threat classification, namely evaluation of superposition of laser beam spot and airplane windshield during the laser attack and eye reaction.

Keywords: airplane, safety, laser, attack.
