> Great idea, but as long at the Pilot Unions are worried about airlines reviewing this data and then taking action against pilots after flights - this will never happen.
Yeah, sending cvr/fdr data at 20 min. intervals would seem like a big privacy problem with little practical gain. After all, I would think that the 5-10 minutes before an incident is where the most important info tends to be found. Hence one can generally send all of the ROUTINE info but none of the important stuff.
Furthermore, the costs of such a thing would be very large for dubious benefit.
