Avidyne Corporation, an avionics systems developer headquartered in Melbourne, Florida, has been selected by the Aircraft Electronics Association as an Associate Member of the Year and will be honoured at the upcoming Aircraft Electronics Association's annual Convention and Trade show on 24 April at the Gaylord Palms Resort in Kissimmee, Florida. The award is presented each year to an associate member of the AEA from a vote of the entire AEA membership.

“Avidyne is pleased to have been selected by AEA's member dealers and manufacturers as the Associate Member of the Year,” says John Talmadge, Avidyne's vice president of worldwide sales. “We joined the Aircraft Electronics Association in the early days of the company, and we've made significant investments in support of our dealers, including our innovative interactive installation manual, our web-based dealer portal and our on-line dealer knowledge base, which we have designed to provide world-class support to our dealers. I believe our dealers really appreciated the significant investment that we made during COVID and the supply chain crisis so that we were always able to have product available during that difficult period.

“On behalf of all the folks at Avidyne in manufacturing, engineering, operations, finance, techs support and sales, I want to thank the association and all of the dealers for this award, and for your continued support,” Talmadge adds. “We would also like to express congratulations to Dewey Conroy of Pacific Coast Avionics, a top Avidyne dealer that was voted AEA Member of the Year.”

This is the second time Avidyne has won this industry honour, having previously been awarded the honour in 2002.
