Is it illegal to take photos on a plane?
There’s no federal law that prohibits in-flight photography. If there’s any evidence that taking a picture or video of the flight crew could place a passenger or flight attendant in danger, it is not widely known.
Are Pilots allowed to take photos?
After all, is it even safe for pilots to take photos and videos from the cockpit—or legal? One airline says yes. (In layman’s terms: no fiddling around during taxi, takeoff, approach, or landing phases of flight, or anything below 10,000 feet, when a “sterile” cockpit environment is required by aviation authority law.)
Is photography allowed in cockpit?
Under the Aircraft Rules, 1937, photography from an aircraft in flight is prohibited unless there is prior permission from authorities concerned. “In a recent case one of the pilot was engaged in photography during training flight, which eventually resulted into an accident,” the DGCA said.

Do airplanes have cameras inside?
Yes, in an airliner nowadays there are cameras installed inside. Since 9/11, security measures dictate that the cockpit door has to remain closed and locked at all times during flight, unless authorized persons enter or exit.
Can you film in airplane?
Bottom Line: Yes, you can record, but it has to be public information (nothing private, like monitors) and you’ll still have to put your phone or camera through the x-ray machine and walk through without alarm. Be careful if you’re thinking of filming TSA agents in action at security.
Is it legal to take pictures on an airplane?
But he says those protections don’t apply when individuals are aboard an airplane, because airlines are private companies. United’s photography policy, which is typical for a U.S. airline, notes that taking pictures or video on its aircraft is permitted “only for capturing personal events.”
Why can’t you take pictures of airline crew?
“Taking pictures of crew members working is not permitted by most U.S. airlines for safety of passengers and crew as well as security of the cabin,” says Taylor Garland, a spokeswoman for the Association of Flight Attendants, a union for airline crew members.
Can passengers legally interfere with flight attendants?
Instead, crew members invoke a regulation, 49 U.S.C. 46504, that forbids passengers from interfering “with the performance of the duties of the member or attendant or lessening the ability of the crew member to perform those duties.” That’s been broadly interpreted to mean: Obey your flight attendants.
Can you record someone on a plane without their consent?
Bottom Line: No, you cannot record if you agreed to not record. If you did not enter such an agreement, and you are in public, viewing the public, you can record. While the government can’t restrict your ability to record in public, the contract you sign can. It’s generally okay to take selfies for personal memories when you’re on the plane.
