Hi everyone,
I'm a new user of this forum. I'm Italian so I apologize for the mistakes that I will make in my writings.
Is there anyone who remembers the British Midland accidents, occurred in 1989 in England? A Boeing 737 crashed near the runway while attempting to land. After a serious problem occurred to engine n. 1 the crew mistakenly shut down the working engine (n. 2). Probably they were not familiar with the new instrument panel so they became very confused. Dozens of people died in that accident.
My question is: why aircraft constructors don't install a camera system that makes the crew able to ckeck directly and in real time the main parts of the aircraft itself (such as engines, aerodynamics surfaces, landing gear, etc.)? Wouldn't be a help to improve the safety? I think it would be cheap, do you agree?
I'm a fan of "Air crash investigations" series and in some accident cases the crew, despite the sofistication of the instrumentation, had to imagine what happened to the aircraft and the cause of its strange behavior is not immediately recognizable.
Thanks in advance for your reply.
