2014 AEA Associate Member of the Year: PS Engineering PS Engineering, the recipient of the 2014 AEA Associate Member of the Year Award was founded 29 years ago by Mark Scheuer, and it has evolved from a portable intercom company to a fully-fl edged avionics manufacturer. The
company was formed when Scheuer purchased a 1971 Grumman AA-1A, and was singularly disappointed with the lack of a good intercom. With an understanding of the importance of cockpit communication for training, crew resource management and general pleasure fl ying, Scheuer sought the aid of the best engineer he could fi nd. And from that, the portable Aerocom intercom was developed. Since 1985, the company has been committed to

The company credits its success to listening and paying close attention to its dealer network. When the company fi rst entered the panel-mount intercom business in 1990, one of the fi rst 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 executive vice president, who is completing a nine-year tenure on the AEA board of directors and is chairman of the AEA Government & Industry Aff airs Committee, has brought 35 years of avionics
