Barco makes cockpit displays. The vast majority of the software is written in Ada; it is my understanding that Ada is still mandatory for DO-178B certification, but I may be wrong on this. Now the general aviation market is only a part of the markets that Barco addresses, and usually GA aircraft tend to be on the higher end of the spectrum (i.e. at least turboprop, not piston-engined). -- Ludovic Brenta.
