I don’t know how to fix it I set max to one
Again, you know the answer. It’s a pretty obvious answer… And i am sure everyone for the most part knows the answer.
Some people may not it’s just something fun they can do

Honestly, it depends on the situation. A laser pointer can instantly have a really bad impact on the vision. If it’s that bad that a pilot requires instant medical attention or even worse, both pilots are affected, it’s a full emergency.
Therefore: That’s not a question you can answer with a right or wrong.

Marc coming in spitting facts. Nicely done
I’m basing this on c captain Joe video. Vision is not life threatening therefore it is Pan Pan. Also talking bout only one pilot sorry about the confusion
Not to be a buzz kill but I believe a similar topic got closed due to a limited amount of scenarios

I mean, you gave us the answer. Depends on the situation though. We got tagged by a laser about 3 weeks ago. We didn’t have to declare an emergency or anything like that. Yes it hit us and the aircraft but we weren’t affected by it in a way that would be a safety risk to continue the flight. Reported incident to ATC, filled out a few reports and called it a day. Don’t have to over play it a whole ton. I wouldn’t idolize these YouTubers as much as you folks tend to. They tend to/can blow things out of proportion.
