[net.aviation] Aviation Hardware, the price of flyi

[never pull the red handle...]

I think the FAA will probably be the next to deregulate just like the
FCC did and do away with alot of stupid rules.  Your normal avionics
package is so good that strict certification rules are not necessary
anymore.  I don't think manufacturers are into building cheap goods
that will be thrown away or returned when their electronics bring the
plane into trouble or cannot enable navigation past 20 miles.
I wonder where the japanese are in this market?

The aviation industry has more than the FAA to worry about.  Read the
article on lawsuits in this month's issue of Flying.
