Default Cockpit video recording -- the time is now.

It's a pretty long stretch to think that since I don't want a mandatory
camera in my cockpit you think that I object to seat belts in cars.Â* Of
course I've come to learn that folks that think like you can't carry on
an objective conversation.

That hardly requires an answer, Mike.Â* I had seat belts in my car long

I'd still have them without the mandate. Likewise, I've flown legacy
aircraft which didn't have shoulder straps without wetting my pants over
the hazards.

For the last time:Â* Choose what works for you and let me choose for
myself.Â* Try to force me and we'll have a problem.

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
any
other devices in the cockpit, yet I have it installed in my current

with its performance).ÂÂ* I took a lot of heat quite a few years back

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.
