Why Pilots Hate the Idea of Cameras Watching Them Fly
If search teams ever find the wreckage of Malaysia Flight 370, a significant shortcoming of the plane’s black boxes system could revive a proposal that’s been kicked around for 14 years: Putting cameras in cockpits. (www.wired.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
The problem seems to be we can't find them in certain situations, not the black box itself or what's in it. Location information is a very small amount of data, and shouldn't it be easy enough to send via the existing satellite communications most carriers already have? a location ping every few minutes would have been very helpful in MH370, for example...
We've all seen how tape recordings and other evidence end up on television later as "entertainment". It would be not different here, you can't trust the feds or anyone else not to let the really juicy parts leak out to the media. Face it, a lot of the trolls on this site would love to live vicariously through cockpit video tapes.
I'm kind of on the fence here. However, I think this is going to become a reality.
But aren't they professionals. If it would help a future flight from same fate isn't it worth being videod?or are they worried they won't be able to have private talks while landing or something else against regs. Cab drivers and buses have cameras recording planes should too!
Employee visual monitoring is a growing business.
More cons than pros in my opinion. It is a great way for insurance companies, aircraft manufacturers, and other "interested parties" to misinterpret the crews actions for gain or to avoid responsibility.
How many bus drivers and cab drivers are being sued if they're just doing the job!and the videos would only be seen by the authorize people .
They wouldn't do that! Lol
