[QUOTE="anorlunda, post: 6829969, member: 455902"] That's cool. So the principle is there, and being used. Now they just need more. But it sounds haphazard. One camera and monitor for cockpit door few, other systems plus other monitors for different views. No unified system able to switch between hundreds of views. That view from the top of the tail shows the wings and the engines. That view alone could have played a role in numerous past airplane incidents. The most emotional one to me was the [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_Transat_Flight_236']Air Transat 236 incident[/URL]. The plane has redundancy, fuel tanks both port and starboard. One side suffered a massive leak. The pilot, after studying the information available to him, decided to open the transfer valve, thus defeating the redundancy. The result was out of fuel on both sides, while flying over the Atlantic. If only he had a better way to see the fuel leaking. [/QUOTE]
