Sorry SW, I don't see the word 'civil' in my post.
I have to say that your reply smacks of a 'it's all too hard to sort out attitude' that seems so prevalent. Are you really suggesting that a system involving some level of independent oversight and assurance could not be established ?
But then how does one consider military equipment such as AAR, which become a core part of the aircraft?
As for the question above, to be honest, for someone with your background, I am very surprised. Read some of the more recent posts and have another think about it !
