This discussion should be open only for aviation professionals. The amount of bs written in a couple of days is just unbelieavable.

Looks like only a few here know anything about safety, but A LOT just love pointing fingers and spitting laughable advices to "improve" safety levels...

They will add valuable information to enhance crash investigations and accelerate corrective actions.

E.g. it can automatically activate when flight characteristics, EICAS or crew actions deviate from expected references.
Tell me you've never been an airline pilot without telling me...

The issue is you don't know how FDR data is used.
And, no, it's not just in case of abnormal occurrences.

That'd be fun! I mean, really, really fun.
It will also increase T&C, given the sudden need for an extra thousands pilots.

Then I guess once recognized as fatigued by AI we can consider ourself unfit to continue safe operations. The other one can declare a mayday and land at nearest suitable as he's in single pilot ops. I wonder what happens when he also gets identified as fatigued, do we park the plane and get some sleep?

With 14 hours legal duties and 18 hours of legal awake time...as said...that'd be a blast!

Notably, the report concludes that if properly installed and appropriately analysed , image recorders could provide valuable supplementary data in certain accident scenarios.

It's worth a revisit, especially as the technology and regulatory discussions evolve.

Additional time, money, maintenance, weight and points of failure to get supplementary data for a once in a bazilion times occurrence.

Hardly surprising.

Post the math, or we're talking about nothing.

"Quickly solving" (which in your post means finding soneone to blame) an accident does not mean improving safety. A CCTV is NOT a preventive measure, and CVR and FDR proved to provide enough data to conduct a proper safety investigation.

A camera right in your face 24/7 does nothing to improve safety, and could also lead to inactions for fear of repercussion. Anyway, if you want camera be my guest, with the only condition to introduce AI fatigue recognition. That's be a blast, as written above.

Oh, by the way...saying "a lot of people are already being recorded at work" means less than nothing.

Run the math and you'll see it's way less than one in a million in the last 30 years.

My very dated experience with similar switches showed that it is very easy, even simpler than a normal switch which has some inherent resistance. (Natural, unsprung switch position above the body ridge)
Video on-line depicting an errant 787 switch; the surprise is that this would not be noticed, but then we are only human.
I try to move those switches around 15 days per month. I know it's almost impossibile to inadvertently toggle them for two reasons: they're not easily flippable and my hand has no valid reasons to be anywhere near them.

So they were either faulty or a deliberate action was made. The only other reason I can think of is they had a double eng failure and they were already trying to restart them.
I can't rationally think about anything different than these three scenarios.

With single engine taxi it's hard to tell, but in my experience FOs go #1 and then #2 (it's really quick anyway).

I'm not 100% sure I'd be able to see the other pilot hand on the fuel switches during rotation tbh. I may be able to detect movement, nothing more than that.
