London: The pilots should be shot in the cockpit to properly examine the accidents, the International Air Transport Association (IATA) Director General Willy Walsh.Walsh said in his first comment after the initial inquiry report on 12 June Air India Boeing 787 Dreamliner Crash said, “I can see that there is now a strong argument to include the video in the cockpit to assist the accident.”“We believe that any major event or accident that needs to be done completely and properly can be reported so that everyone can benefit. Now based on what we know, it is quite possible that a video recording other than voice recording will help significantly in the operation of investigators. [the Air India] Investigation, “Former Chief Executive Officer of British Airways Walsh said in Singapore on Wednesday.“Video is now becoming important because there have been a lot of accidents in the last few years,” a retired Boeing Pilot captain who told TOI internationally. “A video recording will answer all questions about Air India Crash … people need answers.”Pilots unions are concerned about confidentiality violations and misuse of videos. The President of the world’s largest airline pilot union, the Air Line Pilot Association, INT’L (ALPA), Captain Jason Ambrosi told Toi: “Alpa has long recommended that any extra resources have been focused on increasing the current security systems to record more data of high quality, and can focus from the instincts.In 2000, Jim Hall, Chairman of the US National Transportation Safety Board, urged the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to require all commercial American airlines to be equipped with a cockpit video recorder.A FAA spokesman told TOI, “The FAA constituted an aviation rule -making committee to provide suggestions to address these recommendations. The FAA is expected to receive the report of the committee later this year and carefully evaluate it.”
