Asking because of Air India 171. Pilots and their unions are objecting to it because of “privacy” reasons. What do you think about it?

    the question is too broad. should cameras be in cockpits? yes.

    should video streams of those cameras be available live? no.

    should recordings of the cockpit be stored on the blackboxes? yes

    should the footage be wiped between each flight? yes.

    pilots have far too much on their minds while flying a plane, no reason to allow a micromanaging ego trip of an executive access to their cockpit to provide unhelpful “critiques” for better flights. let the talent do what you hired them for and take appropriate action after the incident with the supplied evidence.

      should the footage be wiped between each flight? yes.

      Unfortunately that’s not how it would work, current FDR data already isn’t wiped between flights, and has been used in the past to discipline crew members.

      The issue with that is that when the blame game starts, people inherently try to hide stuff rather than admit fault and work towards a solution.

      So where do you draw the line? Should everyone always have a camera pointed at them for “safety”?

          I think I was pretty clear on where I draw the line.

          That’s the joke: You weren’t. You listed some examples that show you’ve set an arbitrary line, but you weren’t clear on where it was.
