I see a lot of investigations spend years digging through the black box to determine things that would have been obvious if a camera was involved in the cockpit.
In: Technology
Most people don’t want a camera pointed at them the whole day (in some countries, it’s even explicitly illegal for employers to do that). Pilots have unions that are able to defend their rights.
The cockpit voice recorders (with all the safeguards around their use) are a compromise that everyone grumblingly accepts as something that’s good enough for most investigations while not being too invasive.
