I think you would find pushback from far more than just Boeing. Airbus, APA, ALPA, etc. Nobody in the industry would find it reasonable to broadcast something that isn’t meant to come out.
I think the reasons for the missing data need to be established before we go calling for sweeping change.
EDIT: It appears the recorder had continued operation and thus overwrote the data. This is a failure in procedure. Procedures are in place for securing evidence in incidents such as this and for some reason the ball was dropped.
- snypher 3y agoIt seems that the main disadvantage of the current system is a 2-hour loop of storage, which can be overwritten in long flights and hence missing. The change needs to be either longer storage which would be a approvals nightmare, or something like OP proposed which isn't too ridiculous. I have certain compliance paperwork that needs to be retained for 5+ years, why not cockpit audio also?
- bronco21016 3y agoPlenty of other commenters have established why it’s ridiculous. Cost, bandwidth, privacy, questionable value. The ICAO 25 hour standard seems reasonable to me as someone in the industry.
