It does make me wonder: why are aircraft takeoffs and landings not recorded more often, with higher quality cameras and more angles? If I can watch an NFL replay in 4k a few seconds after the ball is snapped, why not record (and overwrite) all flights that take off and land at every airport?

Like a dash cam, they can save the footage only if there is a problem. Surely that would be much better than splicing together many third party camera recordings.

An NFL game has a ton of cameras, a ton of camera operators, those fancy cameras on wire things, an onsite editing crew, and an audience.

To get good recordings, you'd need to invest a lot of time and money, and very few of the recordings would ever be watched. Doesn't seem worth the investment given third party recording seem to turn up quite often and video isn't terribly necessary for the investigation.

Left cam, right cam, runway end, and runway start cams as a minimum or, a single insta360 cam halfway along. 'Crew' not required. 'Audience' would be the ntsb. Cost? Cents on the price of having a plane/ being a passenger.

It doesn't seem to be such a terrible idea, though i do stand to be corrected.
