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]
From a passenger who likes to just look out the window during a flight point of view, a camera to provide every passenger (on aircraft with seat back video monitors)a pilots eye view during the flight would be fantastic. Just one dedicated camera and much better than a little window over the wing. Airlines could add the channel to their video fee. It would be great to watch take offs and landings (and maybe pretend you're flying the plane).
It would also help in avoiding motion sickness. Motion sickness is greatly reduced if you have a visual confirmation on your path.
Front view? No way! It would be like someone sitting in the passengers seat pushing the floor as if they had the pedals!
Side view? No way! Don't you know that that is the ultimate way to get motion sickness!

The DC-10's used to offer this back in the 1970's. It was really cool... You could watch the take-offs & landings on a large screen that was pulled down. I don't know if this had anything to do with it; Probably not, since someone said you can do that on the 380's. But when that DC-10 went down after take-off in Chicago in 1979, I know many who horrified by the idea that those poor people were watching it all on the screen in front of them as it happened.
The A380 already has this. It's mounted on the vertical stabilizer facing forward.
For pax video feed or monitor in the cockpit?
