India’s Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS) has recommended installing hidden cameras in the cabins of all domestic carriers, with controls in the pilot’s hand.
Pilots will switch on the hidden cameras in a crisis situation like a hijack.
The BCAS made the recommendation after a disastrous anti-hijack drill at Delhi Airport on 19 January.
Installing cameras outside the cockpit door, galley area and cabin was one of the mandatory requirements of rules laid by the International Civil Aviation Organisation following the 9/11 attacks, according to hindustantimes.com.
