re: #2 1Peter G1
Unless one considers the number of incidents in which pilots confused by their visual perceptions killed themselves and everyone on board instead of relying on their instruments as they should. As well as the foolishness of putting the pilots in the most vulnerable position in the aircraft, the nose, when the windows, always a weak point, offer very limited visibility and remote cameras offer much better. Then it is a great idea.
Can one tell us how many incidents one is speaking of?
