Check out the image recorders the NTSB wants: Aviation Issues

I took a few aircraft accident investigation classes at Riddle and they said this was the "future" especially for general aviation. I know when CVR's were first put into place, all the pilots threw a fit because it was looked at as spying but they were promised it would only be used for accident investigations. Jerry Lederer, the Grandfather of Aviation safety was instrumental in the inaction of the FDR, and yet again pilots were opposed. Then FOQA comes along and you guys get further scrutinized. Seems like if you even farted in a sterile cockpit someone would flip out. ASRS is an amazing safety tool and works for one reason: confidentiality. I love aviation safety and the practice of it but allowing companies to spy on you will do nothing for safety only distrust. Ridiculous Ridiculous Ridiculous.

"Corporate culture has a very real influence on the attitudes and performance of the people within an organization there is no question in my mind that management decisions and actions, or more frequently, indecision's and inaction's, cause accidents." -John Lauber, NTSB
