As pilots, we are privileged to witness the breathtaking beauty of nature from the flight deck. While it may be tempting to capture and share these moments, recording footage on personal devices always entails significant risks.
Unlike official recordings, personal footage is unprotected and can be seized in the event of an incident or accident. Even without an incident, such material can easily violate social media policies, especially when taken out of context.
To safeguard our careers, reputations, and the trust placed in our profession, we must exercise caution and professionalism when handling such content.
Please find IFALPA’s Position Paper regarding this matter.
