You never know...
Excellent point Wino. The type i fly is not required to carry any audio or data recorder so maybe im not qualified to opine and you (we) need assurance that the footage is not going to wind up on 'americas most wanted' but...
If one follow procedures... what is the worry?
Sorry to dredge up the past but in the aforementioned New Zealand incident:
A couple of casual factors in the incident were the Captain not ensuring the aircraft intercepted and maintained the approach profile during the conduct of the non-precision instrument approach and the Captain's perseverance with his decision to get the undercarriage lowered without discontinuing the instrument approach.
What was wrong with conducting a go around and fixing the problem in a hold?
So it's not like the police were barking up the wrong tree with their manslaughter charge.
call me naive but if you are not up to the task at hand... you know the story.
I guess I am of a generation after the introduction of CVR's and FDR's so have come to expect/accept them. I sometimes wonder why they aren't fitted to smaller types.
You never know... a CVR or FDR may very well clear your good name in a court of law.
this smacks of the anti-speed-camera brigade.
