SLF here but given we are in the era of instant photographs would these be useful in informing the crew during the event? And how might that fit into the crew's workflow?
I'm minded of the incident report from G-VROM

"It would have been a useful facility to have been able to send and receive photographs from on-board the aircraft. This facility might also have been useful for the crew, as photographs were available in the public domain several hours before the eventual landing, showing the position of the landing gear."
