Why do FliteCharts and IFR/VFR Charts Databases come out Later than Navigation, Obstacle, Safe Taxi, and Airport Directory Databases?

For databases like Navigation, Obstacle, Safe Taxi® diagrams, and Airport Directory, source data is received much sooner than charts databases. The FliteCharts® database and IFR/VFR Charts database require more processing and must go through geo-referencing of various geographic areas that are supported.

With IFR/VFR Charts specifically, this process can take a bit longer. After they go through geo-referencing, various separate charts must be stitched together into one seamless image.
