Punkalover...quite right about the JAL...I recall that too.
And RAINBOE...I think the Camera in the cockpit is a very good idea. we still use them in our sims.
One time, the camera proved I was right and the instructor/sim check airman was wrong. He stated that I didn't do something, but the video showed I made the callout and followed the procedure.
I would LOVE a camera in the cockpit. It can prove that you did everything right!
I also want a camera at the radar display that the controllers use. DID you know that there are some recordings of the display that do not show what the eyes of the controller see?
Blips that are there or aren't, recorded by the objective camera could prove a controller right when the computer is wrong.
THE ONLY pilots that don't like the camera in the sim are the ones that are going BALD.
