Corrected spelling of my previous post:

Aviation Monetary Unit. 1 AMU = $1000

I got the term from the Mooney owners email list I participate in. There
used to be an arcronym list somewhere on the aviating.com sight but I
couldn't find it.

It helps when talking to the wife about something expensive... "that darn
fuel control servo was 2 AMU's!!" :-)

Flyer,

Ok...you all got me. I've been reading several posts and a very
frequent acronym is being toss about quite liberally that I have never
heard before. It is "AMU" and "AMU's". It is usually used when
speaking about money in some way. What the heck is this? Atomic Mass
Unit, American Monetary Unit, Aircraft Maintenance Unit...what?

Isn't there a website to look up such information. I found one, but
it had no idea either.
