What was wrong with this video? There's a camera stuck to the window not bothering anyone. Look at YouTube, there's all kinds of gopro videos of all kinds of airliners.

It's prohibited by the FOM and the FAA. That's what's wrong with it.

 

Unless you are senior to me.

But seriously, never go full Getline.

 

Agreed. Fully. At the very least don't post it to Youtube.

There's a reason there are very few airliner cockpit videos...because unless they're sanctioned by the FAA and the company they're not legal.

 

From where it's mounted, it looks very similar to the cockpit video recorder that, if ever authorized, would be added to the current CVR and FDR for accident investigations.

 

I, for one, hope this never happens. That's all we need is to be video monitored 24/7.

 

No kidding.

 

Pilots Can't Stop Cockpit Video Forever
Bloomberg 10/8/15

"Since 2000, the NTSB has recommended that the Federal Aviation Administration require cockpit cameras. The Air Line Pilots Association, North America’s largest flight crew union, has opposed the change, arguing that video can be misleading, especially where it’s not clear whether a pilot is fighting a malfunction or causing a plane to lose control. The money spent on cameras would be better invested in training and other safety measures, the union says. “Cameras in the cockpit will not prevent a single accident,” ALPA President Tim Canoll said in a statement.

An FAA spokesman referred to letters the agency has sent the NTSB saying that it has no plans to revise its policy on cockpit cameras. At least one U.S. lawmaker, Florida Republican Representative John Mica, says he’ll push for a cockpit video requirement next year, when Congress is scheduled to pass legislation reauthorizing the aviation agency."
