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
In the US, the NTSB (National Transportation Safety Board), which investigates crashes, has urged the FAA to require cameras for decades. The pilots’ unions, however, have opposed it at every turn, citing privacy and security concerns. The FAA has pretty much parroted the pilots’ unions’ talking points when refusing to require cameras. So the answer is – the objection of pilots being seen as more important than the additional information cameras would provide by the rulemaking authority in the US.
