Asking because of Air India 171. Pilots and their unions are objecting to it because of “privacy” reasons. What do you think about it?
Asking because of Air India 171. Pilots and their unions are objecting to it because of “privacy” reasons. What do you think about it?
No. For what? Occasional and slight benefit to some subset of accident investigations?
Pilots deal with more than enough bullshit. Putting them on camera is outrageous.
Why is audio okay, but video is where the line is drawn?
Audio is well established. Video is not, therefore drawing a line before it’s actually happening makes sense.
Also it’s practically the last possible piece of privacy for pilots.
Also it’s not been demonstrated that the significant investment in cameras, video processing, video storage, and making said video processing and storage fast enough and physically robust enough to survive crashing, is actually worthwhile.
