Seven-step certification pathway with European evidence-reuse guidance

$325k-$1.26m modeled program-cost range with assumptions and contingency

Six decision tables covering requirements, risks, costs, pathways, and scenarios

First-mover analysis across Flight Design, Van's, Tecnam, Bristell, and Pipistrel
