Hi All, I thought this might be of interest to some PDMLers.
Almost every time when I fly, I try to choose a window seat that is good for taking photographs. Prior to this I've never seen any rules governing taking photographs on/from the plane, except for those posted by airlines in Russia. (Photography on an airplane in the Soviet Union was strictly prohibited. Strictly speaking the rules still forbid it, but today's rules are not as strictly enforced.) Today I found: http://www.united.com/page/article/0,6867,1036,00.html "Onboard photography and video policy The use of still and video cameras, film or digital, including any cellular or other devices that have this capability, is permitted only for recording of personal events. However, photography, audio, or video recording of other customers without their express prior consent is strictly prohibited. Also, unauthorized photography, audio, or video recording of airline personnel, aircraft equipment, or procedures is always prohibited. Any voice, audio, video, or other photography (motion or still), recording, or transmission while on any United Airlines aircraft is strictly prohibited, except to the extent specifically permitted by United Airlines." What about taking photos of things outside the aircract? I suspect, that it is prohibited by the last sentence: "Any voice, audio, video, or other photography (motion or still), recording, or transmission while on any United Airlines aircraft is strictly prohibited" This is the first time I see any explicit policy with respect to photography on an airplane in the US (or Europe outside of Russia).
