Dantruck:
As for ‘CVR porn,’ as you call it, the organizations you refer to tend to agree with me...that gratuitous publication serves no purpose and can be upsetting to some, while selective publication is sometimes justified to serve a greater good. Don’t generalize
The organizations agree? Don't think so. Read this from IFALPA:
IFALPA deplores the use of Cockpit Voice Recordings for entertainment
CHERTSEY 8 December: The International Federation of Air Line Pilots’ Associations (IFALPA) is outraged to learn that once again the Cockpit Voice Recordings (CVR) of aircraft involved in a fatal accident have been leaked and are being used by a media provider for public entertainment.
CVRs are intended for one purpose, to help investigators determine the factors that led to an accident with the aim of preventing an accident of the same type in the future. This idea is enshrined in the international principles set down in ICAO Annex 13 which states in Attachment E (Chapter 3.4) “Safety information should not be used in a way different
from the purposes for which it was collected”.
Publishing the content of CVRs outside the context of an Accident Investigation report does nothing to improve air safety. Accordingly, IFALPA calls on States to institute legislation which will prevent publication of the actual recordings of CVRs in the public domain.
And I do not put Crab down, I have respect for his opinions, but I do reserve the right to discuss, even if the words can seem harsh at times.
