However, some pilots and their unions (groups that speak for pilots) are worried about cameras. They say cameras might invade their privacy, especially when they are under a lot of stress. They also worry that cameras might make pilots nervous or afraid to do what they need to do in an emergency.
Some fear the videos could be leaked or shared, which might hurt the pilots or the families of people who were in the crash. So, while cameras could help solve mysteries when planes crash, many pilots and groups are worried about privacy, safety, and trust issues. After a recent plane accident in India, where many people lost their lives, some reports mentioned a fight between the pilots about fuel (the gas that makes the plane go).
This made many people wonder: why don’t planes have cameras to see what the pilots are doing during important moments? In other vehicles like cars and trucks, cameras are common, so some ask why planes can’t have them too. The US agency that investigates plane crashes has wanted cameras in planes for many years.
There’s been a big question about why airplanes don’t have cameras inside the cockpit (the front part where pilots control the plane).
When a plane crashes, investigators look at the sounds recorded from the pilots talking, but they don’t have videos showing what was happening. Some people think that if there were cameras, it would help figure out what went wrong more easily.
