tion pilots with audio solutions in the
cockpit as well as in the cabin, and
it is devoted to supporting a network
of more than 600 dealers worldwide,
most of which are AEA members.
The company credits its success to
listening and paying close attention
to its dealer network. When the company first entered the panel-mount
intercom business in 1990, one of the
first contacts Scheuer made was with
Monte Mitchell, then president of the
AEA. From their conversations, he
learned the value of the organization,
but also the importance of personal
connection with the members and
the networking opportunities available at the annual AEA International
Convention and AEA Regional
Meetings.
Gary Picou, PS Engineering's
vice president, who is completing a
nine-year tenure on the AEA board
of directors and as chairman of the
AEA Government & Industry Affairs
Committee, has brought 35 years of
avionics experience to the company.
The strength Picou brings has helped
make it a company that is highly
regarded within the industry.
PS Engineering's only business is
as a general aviation avionics manufacturer, focused on aircraft audio systems. In its facilities near Knoxville
Tenn., it employs 15 people both in
design engineering and electronic
manufacturing, as well as in maintaining an FAA-certified repair station. PS
Engineering's product line includes
panel-mounted intercoms (including
an LSA-specific stereo intercom and
high-noise systems), and audio control
panels for a broad range of aircraft.
Throughout the years, it has received
awards from the aviation press for
product innovations.
The company is proud of its ability
to deliver most of its products off the
shelf, as a service to aid the dealers.
The company's Pro-Support industryleading warranty and product support
brings the dealer a no-questions-asked

warranty program. Users and installers will always get an experienced
voice, often the company founder, on
the line with any needed answers.
PS Engineering has forged partnerships with other avionics and
aircraft manufacturers to provide
custom audio solutions, including
Avidyne, BendixKing, Honeywell,
L-3 and Eclipse Aerospace. With
the sheer volume of products of all
sorts shipped from its East Tennessee
factory, it's no wonder why so
many airplanes on the ramp have
PS Engineering products. It's easy
to see the impact this company has
had over the years in AEA members'
business. According to the company, AEA members should expect
to see more innovation from PS
Engineering in 2014.
