What about straps Dan? I believe they are mandated. Should that be
removed?

I was, am, and will always be against mandating FLARM, cameras, or

By all means, make your proposal, support it with arguments, and
congratulate all the adopters, but count me out on this one.

So it's official, Dan has come out against mandating seat belts in cars and presumably in aircraft. Another no compromise analysis. Brilliant.

I didn't get that at all from Dan's posts. I really appreciate the general idea of this thread--encouraging video monitoring in the cockpit. But I too share his (Dan's) apprehension about MANDATING this. I would encourage us to voluntarily do this, but to force someone to do it is a completely different matter.
