Sorry Steve -but life and litigation don't work that way. Once you "mandate" the creation and maintenance of the data source it is out the there for anybody to subpoena:


Even if privacy was protected, the incentive to use a cockpit camera is almost
entirely altruistic; unlike a FLARM or parachute, it doesn't protect the pilot,
though it might help another pilot, or ease the pain of relatives and friends. So,
I suspect few pilots would bother to use one.
