Asking because of Air India 171. Pilots and their unions are objecting to it because of "privacy" reasons. What do you think about it?

  1. Wait for the final report on Air India before taking any regulatory decisions.
  2. There's no real technical limitation today on doing this to the safety-critical engineering standards that are demanded on the flight deck. The first CVRs were based on the old half inch tape technology, and they only recorded something like 20 minutes on a circular tape.
  3. Wait for the final report first; but exactly what additional information do you hope to get off the video feed that won't be on the CVR + FDR? I am skeptical that this accident will not be "solvable" from the information that is available.
  4. If the regulators want to fight the pilot unions on this, they can. And they can probably win. Pilots don't necessarily have a ton of leverage on this kind of issue.

In particular, I expect that the final report will contain a lot more analysis of FADEC telemetry from the FDR. That simply wasn't analyzed in time for the preliminary report.
