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 lsit somewhee on the aviatin.com list but I
couldn't find it.

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

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.
