Flygerne har alltid vært opptatt at ICAO Annex 13 etterleves slik det fremgår under. Når en høyesterett i et "sivilisert" land går imot hensikten med det Canada har signert overfor FN, er det virkelig alvorlig. Mange har hevdet at det er behov for CCVR, Closed Circuit Video Recording, altså videofilming av cockpit. Dette er flygerne sterkt i mot fordi slike opptak kan bli gjort tilgjengelig for offentligheten i stedet for- eller i tillegg til en havarikommisjonen. Det er særdeles uønsket. (Red.)
MONTREAL – for immediate release: The
International Federation of Air Line Pilots’ Associations (IFALPA)
deplores the 25 November 2022 decision by the Supreme Court of Canada to
allow the release and use of the recordings from the Air Canada accident
flight AC624 Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR) in a class action trial.
ICAO annex 13 states that the sole objective
of an accident investigation is, “the prevention of accidents and
incidents without apportioning blame or liability.” The CVR
recordings are only a portion of the evidence collected during an
investigation and it is the responsibility of the investigating authority
to determine the contributing factors to prevent a future occurrence.
Pilots are willing participants in this process knowing that ICAO, and in
this case, the Canadian Transportation Accident Investigation and Safety
Board Act, recognizes the CVR as an on-board recording that must be
treated with discretion and used as intended by trained aviation safety
professionals.
ICAO cautions in Annex 13 that the
disclosure of these records, “in criminal, civil, administrative or
disciplinary proceedings, or their public disclosure, can have adverse
consequences for persons or organizations involved in accidents and
incidents, likely causing them or others to be reluctant to cooperate
with accident investigation authorities in the future.” Safety
is enhanced by open and honest conversation between crew members. When
there is a perceived threat of those words being used inappropriately,
the conversation is likely to be restricted, to the detriment of flight
safety. Not only does the disclosure contravene the internationally
understood principles of accident investigation confidentiality, it is
also a breach of trust of those involved in the investigation.
IFALPA once again stresses that the sole
purpose of a CVR is to aid investigators in determining the factors
leading to an accident and not to apportion blame or be used outside of
its safety context. Any other use of CVR data is not only invalid but is an
unacceptable invasion of privacy best described as an attempt at
sensationalism and voyeurism of the worst kind and not in line with ICAO
standards and recommended practices.
