Do you have the same idea with engine failures too?

Nope

We flew in some pretty thick stuff up in Nebraska and it never happened, but of course it starts as soon as Im solo in IMC. I kinda figured it wasnt going to happen since it didnt before. I didnt hear the cloud whistle until I was solo either, and that it just eerie.

Cool vid Tupac.  I would have loved to have a GoPro mounted when I was hauling jumpers.

How did you mount the camera to the airplane?  Does it require a sign-off from an A&P or IA?  If you can't answer those you might want to check into it before you get ramped with the camera mounted on the airplane.  I know in the past there was some noise made by FSDO inspectors about still cameras mounted to the wing strut.

This coming year, I'm going to get a GoPro mounted on the outside of the jumplane I fly particularly, for the descent. Plus an a couple from inside. The quality I've seen is amazing.

I used the suction cup mount, and I got off the phone with my A&P and he said that it's considered temporary - no paperwork needed. He's friends with one of the inspectors at the FSDO, and I thought he might know. There is an inspector on another board I go on and he told me the same thing.

I told you on Facebook that one inspectors interpretation is one inspectors interpretation. Then FSDOs vary from other FSDOs.

No matter which way you go, suction cup or something better, prove it. Prove it to yourself, prove it to an ASI conducting a ramp inspection, prove it to anyone that asks.

If it isn't in writing, it didn't happen. Even if it is in writing doesn't make it right. Don't bet your certificates, especially something trivial and stupid on what someone else said or what you assumed.

Todays flight. I decided that the best course of action would just be to mount the camera inside of the plane, I dont want to worry about the dang thing falling off.

Next flight will be inside the cockpit

This one came out well. I think that is where I am going to mount it from now on.

Nice camera & videos!  :aok

I seen one guy (Wolfala) mount it to the top of the V-stabilizer, perhaps you want to give that a try? This way you have a good view of everything around the aircraft and when you analyze the flight you see what position your controls were in.
