Cockpit Cameras: Maximus Aviation

‪@maximusaviationchannel‬
Responding to Maximus Aviation regarding the following:
"With pressure from the US Pilots Union Congress REMOVED cockpit cameras from the FAA Authorization Bill AGAIN! After DECADES of attempts by the NTSB asking the FAA to require cameras in the cockpit. Still, the FAA refuses and now Congress helped them yet again."

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with having video recordings which can be stored and reviewed in the case of a crash. I think this could improve our ability to learn from accidents. I don’t see how it’s that different from having voice recordings reviewed in the case of accidents. It’s not constant monitoring, just reviewed when things go wrong.

[@Taylair]

I think it would create a distracting atmosphere that would hinder critical decision making due to excessive second guessing. Give someone a task to do without a camera and then get them to do the same task with a camera and tell them if they screw it up, the video will be reviewed and their actions scrutinized by a board of judges and watch how different the results are.

[@thecolorjune]

@@Taylair I mean, you could say the exact same thing about voice recordings

[@Taylair]

Video recording is a way more visible intrusion which is likely to cause more of a distraction and will add nothing to the flight data which records absolutely everything we do in the background without us being visually reminded of it by a device pointed at us in the flight deck.

I work in a hospital. Medicine is inexact. Things go wrong all the time. There are security cameras in my workplace, but they are for security only, being in the public areas, waiting rooms, corridors, etc. There are no cameras or audio recorders for consultations. We don't think that either doctors or patients want such recordings to be taken, but we haven't asked them. This is the same in almost all professions: teaching, law, psychology, architecture, etc. Road vehicle crashes cause much harm and result from a currently private activity (driving), which is not recorded at all. The argument that cockpits should be videotaped should start with the question: where do things go wrong most? People dying in hospitals, buildings collapsing (eg: Champlain towers south), everyone driving their private cars. Then start videotaping the most risk-prone situations first and video in the safest places last. First will be video in your car recording your actions, and sending data to the authorities. The cockpit will be last on the list.

Actually it’s very common for truckers to be recorded by their companies, and most buses do too (at least where I am). They will often have both a dash cam and a driver cam.

[@CKwoi]

This is such a stupid argument the original video is making. The problem isn't that pilots aren't getting recorded. The problem is that everyone else is. Short of professions that can actively legally harm others, like the Police, there's no reason for everyone to be under constant surveillance, and the EU is much better in this regard.

[@thecolorjune]

I think the video would only be stored temporarily and overwritten unless in the case of an accident, just like voice recording. So there wouldn’t be constant monitoring, just extra information in the case of an accident. I see nothing wrong with this, and I think it’s a good idea. I’ve reviewed countless crash investigations and sometimes there is a lot of guesswork that has to be done due to the lack of video.

[@KipOConnell]

Cameras in the cockpit and passenger cabin. And a few cameras on outside of plane. All CVR and FDR data pushed live to satellite. No more over-written CVR and destroyed recorders losing valuable info.

What happened on the Germanwings?

I’ll tell you exactly what happened….oh wait I can’t….there weren’t any cameras! We need Flight Deck Cameras!!

I feel like Taylairs comments on this video seems biased. I agree with maximum

[@X85283]

What would really be gained over cockpit voice recorder + black box storing all control movements and aircraft movements.

[@josh885]

A lot actually. We would know who pressed what button not just that it was pressed, where each pilot was looking and when (did they see xyz displayed ect), what the instruments were displaying in the cockpit vs the data recordings of what they should have been, who was inside on the instruments and who was looking outside for traffic, if one or both of the pilots nod off and for how long, if any inappropriate or unapproved items are brought in the cockpit, and probably more I can't think of off the top of my head. Oh and it would be another redundant sorce of data incase some is destroyed in a crash.

Cameras only to identify people? Are you ignorant about what cameras are for or you are just ignoring other safety uses on purpose? Pilots are infalible when it comes to safety? I think maybe you are an entitled pilot, that values his privacy over other safety considerations, like making YOU completely responsible of your decisions, for example, because we know exactly what you did or did not. .I think it is because pilots like you that we DO need those cameras.

[@fenix849]

I don't think there's anything wrong with privacy, at home or at work.
If you disagree and think privacy is just entitlement, feel free to livestream your entire house and your office to the internet, you won't find me doing it though.
Pilots are more monitored than any other job already even without video recorders. Video would mostly be used to go after individual pilots in law suits for money, with bs like our expert thinks he did this tiny bs technicality wrong, and when you ask 10 pilots about it you get 5 different answers.
But i think cheesy has the most on point answer, it's pure jealousy, you can hear it. Misery loves Company.

[@Taylair]

Thank you for your comment, I'll be sure to hand all my pilot licences back as I clearly don't deserve them

[@Aviationnerd857]

I agree with @gajofre. YOU are a biased, entitled “pilot”.

Bro doesn't like being filmed everywhere. He's jealous that pilots aren't being filmed. His solution isn't get rid of cameras in the workplace, it's "you should suffer like I suffer" and that's pretty pathetic. He's just whining the whole time about "the rest of us are recorded at work so you should be too." Weak sauce
