Review the research material available, and apply the principles and methodologies of SMS to:
Q1: Technology now makes installing cameras in cockpits feasible in terms of cost, and there are many parts of the industry that would favour installing them for the benefit of flight safety and accident investigation.

Q2: Review the serious incident that occurred on a BN2T-4S Islander
on 12th November 2020, and investigated by the UK AAIB. Conduct a Hazard Analysis based on the evidence presented in the report, review the hazards that might be evident, list the possible hazards for further analysis and produce a Bow Tie for the most significant hazard identified.
Note: This question has two parts, the hazard analysis is worth 10 and the Bow Tie is worth 20. (30%)
Q3: Read this report
