Hy all,
One month ago I went to Athens from Brussels with Virgin Express. The flight was very nice, I saw some nice things (traffic and stuff like that) and I entered the cockpit during boarding ! I wrote a letter for the pilot to enter the cockpit during flight (I said that I fly flightsimulator and I'm a member in forums) but I couldn't, it was prohibited! Although the captain (a nice lady ) said that they would like some company during flight...
The next thing that I didn't like was during landing, I couldn't film. Minutes before the pilot said "cabin crew position for landing" the stewardess came to me and said I couldn't film...but why is that? For your safety
Could someone tell me why it's prohibited to film during landing (and takeoff)??
I couldn't film takeoff because it was dark...

Nice to know that Virgin Express have correct ethics!
As for filming - I filmed both the take off and landing of my first SN Brussels flight between Birmingham and Brussels in March. I managed this in part because the crew did not know that I was filming video because I was using a digital camera. The steward just thought I was taking ordinary photos and I didn't bother to tell him that I was making a video
To see the results of the video of take off from BHX in slight fog and landing at BRU in gorgeous sunshine, visit this link https://www.aviation24.be/postt4300.html
That's my favourite fligth report of the ones I've written

I use a Sharp Viewcam VLA-111H which is 8mm format for my main video filming, and a Kodak digital camera for short video filming. I made the take off and approach/landing films with the Kodak digital camera so no one would know I was filming video, like they would if I had used the Viewcam. I use the Viewcam when I am on holiday and shoot inflight movies with that one so I am never using it on approach and take off.
The only time I have not been able to use the video camera at all was on Aer Lingus between Manchester and Dublin. This was a pity because we flew over alot of land and it was a clear day. I have no intention of flying with EI again though, so this won't arise again.
