Air Disasters

Why not?

I have really got into watching "Air Disasters" on television.

I wonder why we are still not utilizing video cameras on air planes like on automobiles, etc?

Seems like it would be VERY easy for a pilot or co-pilot to see a monitor that could show them the landing gear, tail wing, flaps, passengers, cargo hole, etc.

It could also be easily live broadcast to the NTSB in the event of an emergency.

In the grand scheme of this now days it would not be expensive to add.

Most newer airframes do have cameras on them. I worked on a Cirrus SR22 last week that had one. Big jets have them too.

Gents,
Ya know - I've been around a bit and done many things. I also buy good equipment and go the extra mile to care for it.
But for the life of me ....no one has ever described or instructed me in the ways of a clay-bar. Can you surmise the process for me? Looks like excellent results on black, the rarest color.
This might also serve to elevate my TOAK status a tad !
