TRIMEC AVIATION Assists Becker Avionics with First Part 25 AML-STC for New
Audio Management Unit 6500
July 9, 2020 – Fort Worth, Texas — Trimec Aviation, a certified FAA Part 145 Repair Station
(#18TR248C), announced they are aiding Becker Avionics in the development of the first Part 25
Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) for Becker Avionics’ new AMU6500 as part of the Approved Model
List (AML). The standalone audio management unit (AMU) is designed for small rotary and fixed-wing
aircraft and is the first state-of-the-art AMU that uses a display to enable new functionality with
enhanced performance.
“We are excited to be working with Becker Avionics in this capacity as we continue to expand our
capabilities and our business model,” said John Holland, Trimec Aviation, General Manager. “Our
avionics technicians have a wealth of experience and Becker was aware of our extensive knowledge
base with avionics STCs, so it has been a rewarding project for both of us,” added Holland.
Trimec expects to complete the AMU6500 STC installation in a Gulfstream G200 at the Fort Worth
facility as part of the AML-STC process by the end of July.
Rob Truglia, Business Development Manager for Becker Avionics said, “Becker Avionics selected
Trimec Aviation as a teaming partner for this STC due to their knowledge of mid-size business jets.
Trimec was the best decision we could have made.”
The AMU6500 is based on a completely new system architecture, which allows maximum scalability of
the Inter-Communication System (ICS) for a wide variety of aviation platforms. The individually
programmable soft keys and functions can be tailored to the mission and aircraft configuration. By
combining the display and system architecture, the AMU increases the possibilities of intercom and
multicast functions. New functionalities like 3D improve the flight awareness significantly. Modern
connectivity, like Bluetooth, are integrated as well. For more details go to https://www.beckeravionics.com/business-commercial-aviation/#intercom.
