INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING
NOTICE OF PROPOSAL TO CONDUCT OUTDOOR LASER OPERATION(S) FORM AND
LASER CONFIGURATION WORKSHEET

Note: A laser is a high concentrated light beam, which has the potential to cause significant damage to the human eye and skin, depending on its energy and
wavelength. A laser does not need to be “visible” to cause damage. Laser operating in the Retinal Hazard Region, namely visible and near-infrared regions of the
electro-magnetic spectrum (ie 400nm to 1400 nm), can cause significant damage to the retina. Furthermore, lasers operating beyond the Retinal Hazard Region,
such as UV and infrared regions, can cause damage to the skin and to the cornea of the eye.
(a) Purpose of Form: The purpose of this form is to assess submissions by any person planning to project or to cause to be projected a directed bright light
source into navigable airspace in order to determine conformance to Canadian Aviation Regulations (CAR) for aviation safety.
(b) When to Complete the Form: Completed electronic or paper forms are to be submitted at least 30 days prior to an event where lasers are planned to be used
outdoors.
(c) Proponents are requested to ensure the form is complete and as specific as possible in order for the Minister to determine if the lasers constitute a hazard to
air navigation in accordance with CAR 601.20 – Projection of Directed Bright Light Source at an Aircraft.
(d) Supporting Data and Documents, if required, can be submitted as attachments to this form.
(e) This form neither constitutes nor replaces any approvals, permits or assessments required by other Federal Government departments, Provincial or Municipal
land use authorities or any other agency from which approval/assessment may be required.
(f) Completed applications are to be forwarded to the applicable Transport Canada (TC) Regional office listed in the dropdown list on the front page of this form.
