If you were seriously smart, would you work for a company that makes
stuff using 1980s technology (colour LCDs aside) and brings out a new
product once every 10 years? No company that does that will retain
good people. To top it, they blame it on certification; it doesn't
take 10 years to certify a product... especially if the company is
already loaded with competent paper-pushers.


In this case certification standards and obstacle clearance protected
airspace are pretty much married to each other.
