Trimec adds GIV to STC for Becker's AMU 6500
Trimec worked with Becker to complete the AMU 6500 STC for the G200 last summer, and now the GIV aircraft model has been added with this latest system installation.
The AMU6500 is based on a new system architecture, which allows maximum scalability of the inter-communication system for a wide variety of aviation platforms.

FAA Part 145 certified Trimec Aviation continues to build on its Gulfstream maintenance expertise with a GIV STC model add-on installation of the Becker Avionics 6500 audio management unit.

Fort Worth, Texas based Trimec worked with Becker to complete the AMU 6500 STC for the G200 last summer, and now the GIV aircraft model has been added with this latest system installation. The standalone audio management unit uses a display to enable new functionality with enhanced performance.

The AMU6500 is based on a new system architecture, which allows maximum scalability of the inter-communication system 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.

John Holland, Trimec Aviation, general manager says: “We truly enjoy working with the Becker Avionics team and are always excited to add more Gulfstream capabilities to our facility. Our continued success is attributed to our experienced and talented avionics technicians, and we look forward to more rewarding projects with Becker Avionics.”
