No, FDR has 99% of useful data (signals from sensors and input controls). It's much more important than voice. Video would probably just show what toggles they touch, and FDR already has that. Voice is used just for figuring out pilots' thought process and commands received.
- WalterBright 3y agoI've watched all the Aviation Disasters episodes, each one analyzes a crash. A cockpit video would have cleared up a couple of them, and would have resolved many more much quicker. For example, a video would show who was in which seat, who touched the controls, where the pilots were looking, what the pilots could see, etc.
- deepsun 3y agoInteresting, thank you.
- Nikbul 3y agoIt has that, but not showing who did it. Also if pilot needs to pull out a book or other manual, material, etc, FDR can't record that. Distractions of information given from attendants to the pilots is not given. Simple example: captain goes to restroom and second pilot passes out.. good luck figuring out why plane suddenly nose dived to the ground
- cmcaleer 3y agoVoice is incredibly useful for the reasons you outlined. I cannot believe that in an era of 1TB microSD that serious incidents like the Air Canada near miss can happen and the flight crew can escape accountability by allowing the CVR to overwrite itself.
