Gov't wants flight recorders in small aircraft

Promote? Make it law!

Cockpits should have video recording too. There's video recording (of passengers) in buses and trains, so it's inexpensive, but not of the pilots in planes, which is puzzling. Voice and flight data recording don't always tell the whole story. I imagine that some pilots would object.

As Jonathan says, this will cost pennies to provide compared to the running of an aircraft. Smaller aircraft aren't in the air that long, so I would expect crew to remain professional and not have to talk about any indiscrete stuff they don't want recorded to kill the boredom. They aren't jumbos on autopilot for 10 hours.

The government should take a lead at least and put it in the SAR and doctor helis.

They don’t have them?

my god, they didn't have them?!?!?!!!

They don't have them for small planes in most countries. About time all countries made them mandatory.
