Not really. Creating the distribution media is pushing the button. But
acquiring the data from the appropriate CAA (civil aeronautical

suitable for distribution for the corresponding hardware/software...

That's what you're really paying for.


Over, and over, and over, even though it's a one-time conversion, highly
automated, that costs very little. There are no white-haired scribes
transferring data from one sheet of parchment to another, even though the
final product is priced as though there were.
