The recording should anyway only be retrieved under specific conditions and in a controlled environment.
In this specific case the longer recording duration may have actually aided the investigation and thus further improve airline safety.
- t0mas88 3y agoAgree. My comment was responding to someone saying "Why stop at 25? Record all of every flight and archive it." There is also more nuance to the debate around the 25 hours change. Like you say it should only be used under specific conditions and in a controlled environment, but in the US unfortunately recordings have been leaked and have been used for disciplinary purposes instead of a blame-less investigation for safety. Europe has had rules for 25 hour recording since 2021, as far as I know without any opposition. But European recordings have also not been misused before.
