As a new Sales Account Manager and principle member of the Becker Avionics sales team, Floyd will develop and execute a comprehensive sales and marketing strategy to expand and capture the fixed-wing market, as well as focus on strengthening existing and future Becker Avionics dealer relationships.

After eighteen years in the military Floyd retired and began his civilian career in aviation sales.

His experience, integrity and technical skills are ideally suited to working with both end-user customers, major completion centers and aircraft OEMs and we look forward to having him on the team.”
Floyd Roney stated, “I am very excited be able to work with Markus Schmitz and be part of the Becker Avionics team. As the leading manufacturer of digital audio controllers and micro-line instrumentation they are recognized around the world for their unparalleled quality and extremely high reliability. To have the opportunity to represent such highly regarded products is a privilege for me.
