The record of Dynon and similar seems to conflict with the idea that the PMA/TSO/STC process makes anything safer...
Expensive and outdated, sure... Safer, no... Right now there are a host of perfectly safe avionics products I can legally install in the KR I'm building... That are illegal if used in my PA24 even if they are safer than what is approved. By and large, the FAA maintenance and parts bueraucracy is a hindrance to safety and affordability in GA.
