Flypast tower for visual inspection - who has camera?
Something I have been wondering about for sometime.
I have seen on occasions aircraft asking for a flypast of a tower for a visual inspection underneath if they have undercarriage problems or anything else that someone might visually be able to assist checking out if the aircraft was to fly past the tower.
In these rare incidents do any of the major airports and their ATC units have videoing or camera facilities to capture pictures of the aircraft as it passes so engineers/tech can get a look at the pictures in detail and decide what to do? This is assuming the aircraft has enough fuel to hold while decisions and advice is sought.
