PilotsEyeTV is a really really neat thing. They sell entire box sets of whole flights. It's pretty cool that the European airlines allow this amount of camera work in the cockpit: link If you really want to see something captivating, watch this clip of a Swiss A340 crew handling an overheating engine in-flight. It's incredibly well done. this video

There's a company called PilotsEYE.tv that sells DVDs of exactly this. It seems to be mostly European airlines participating, but they have some serious aircraft filmed in operation. They load the cockpit up with GoPros. Not sure but there might also be someone in the jump seat catching snapshots of the console displays as well. This one of a Lufthansa A380's final approach and landing from FRA to SFO is a really nice one: link This one of a Swiss Air crew handling an A340 engine problem in-flight is a great watch as well: this video

If going by the book, the pilot probably would have to ask for clearance (although maybe not if they're over international waters?), but it really is a button press (or two of them): this video
