Cockpit video recording -- the time is now.

The mixture of paranoia and stupidity in the responses in this thread beggars belief.
Nowhere did I see the OP mention mandating a camera. Having one present voluntarily
would be just as useful. I don’t fly in a manner that I want or need to hide, do you?

The OP was pretty clear that a camera mandated by the SSA or others, Not owned by the pilot be used for every glider flight. also that the data would be open sourced. He even used the phrase "It needs to be somehow mandated"
At least in the OP I read.

Respectfully

I use a camera in the cockpit. I find it an objective training tool.
Reviewing my flights and landings has led me to make changes in my flying
that have improved performance and safety. Cost under $100. I commend them
to y'all.

You should get your head out of your ass and read before you open your
mouth.Â* Just for you, here's a paragraph from the original post:

"How can we make this happen?Â* Clearly individuals will not be highly
motivated to go out and buy one since they are unlikely to personally
benefit from their own camera. It needs to be somehow mandated. I would
hate to look to the government for a mandate as it would take too long
among other issues. How about a mandate from SSA? Contests? Clubs? OLC? or
tow operators? Every glider needs to have a video logger running on every
flight. "

Note the word "mandated" in the above.Â* You seem to take pleasure in
tossing garbage at any discussion rather than contributing useful
information.Â* Go back to bed.
