So thats almost half of accidents since 2000 unlikely to be captured by automation.
A note on Official reports from some who has read all of them which have involvied aerial filming.
Comparing accident reports to 1st hand accounts you would think that reading the official report that the media crew had no influence on the pilot.
We know they are capable of corrupting, distracting and confusing.
In developed countries there were only a few incidents that could/should have been reported that were not. (Incident defined for my list as damage to aircaft or camera or injuries to crew.
In a large number of incidents it took additional sources of information and research to join the dots as to the detailed purpose of the flight.
For instance a crash of a two seater with photograher on board is one thing but if it transpires the photographer was also shooting video and they were orbiting a subject and spun in then it is of relevance if one is to educate pilots of the issues in trying to achieve a smooth orbit of a subject on a breezy day.
A comparitivly large number of "close calls" go unreported and it is not PC to discuss in public thus depriving the industry of, in my view, at least a three times greater incident base from which to learn.
