Commercial video equipment as installed in non aviation facilities cost a few hundred dollars. Let's have a competition to see how many thousand it will cost to install in aircraft once the FAA and EASA have their input who will listen to Collins and Honeywell's argument that commercial video equipment is not suitable (AKA too cheap and we won't make any money)
I will start the bidding at $50,000
Don't forget the installation charges to certify the RF and the G load requirements as well as the camera angles that can be agreed (no face or groin shots).
How about airplane out-of-service to install and maintain? Should it be deferrable if a lens gets mucked up with chewing gum or a smiley face
