HC,
You obviously don't know much about FDM in helicopters in Nigeria. The system you are referring to is the Appareo Vision 1000, which was never fitted to the S76 fleet in Nigeria and anyway is not just applicable to glass cockpit helicopters. The camera also is only used to monitor instruments and in quite a number of cases in different operations has been blanked off by pilots hanging their hats over the camera, or simply opening the unit and removing the SD card. A number of the older S76s were retrofitted with the Appareo ALERTS (Aircraft Logging And Event Recording for Training and Safety) system (the same as that fitted to the PAAN B206 and 407s), but this has no camera and is capable of recording a very limited 14 parameters.
