External wing cameras on large planes?
External cameras should be installed on large airliners to help pilots prevent ground collisions, the National Transportation Safety Board recommended today, citing three recent accidents, including one in May at O’Hare International Airport. (www.chicagotribune.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
i agree it will make ground collisions less common but it will also add to the pilots jobs before take off, they could get another pilot or assistant in the cockpit but they would have to sit in the cabin with the passenger on the flight because there is no more room in the cockpit anyway and where would they put the monitors for the cameras. it would be a good view for the passengers because you could see take off and landings from 2 different views
Not being an expert or even commercial pilot, I do notice that the common theme from all is that the crew has to much to do. If the cockpit is that complex and busy may be its time to expand the crew. And it just so happens you have 2 people right behind the pilot doing nothing except planning the next leg or shopping trip. Put one of them to work assisting. The more eyes the fewer risks, inspite of few egos. It appears what you do'nt see is going to bite you, even if its someone else's error. It takes ths whole crew to make a safe flight
You the Pat Reed that runs FedeX Freight in Harrison AR?
No, flew helecopter for a police dept.

Here is an ADS-B (NextGen) alternative to cameras. It provides a moving map of the airport surface in the cockpit showing own ship and other aircraft traffic in the terminal along with vehicles. It provides visual alerts on the primary flight display along with aural alerts. This system does require aircraft to be ADS-B equipped. http://vimeo.com/44596496 http://www.acss.com/
