ALTITUDE FLT18

Pilot Sunglasses

$225.00

Description plus minus

Lightweight and shatterproof, FLT lenses are the first to offer notch filtering in a durable polymer. Medium tint and a VLT of 18% makes these pilot sunglasses a great choice for general and mixed conditions.

Lens Technology

Method Seven’s lens technology delivers cutting-edge non-polarized glare reduction, allowing for clear, unrestricted vision without the drawbacks of polarized lenses. Using advanced notch filtering technology, Method Seven sets a new standard for optical performance and protection. Notch filtering allows for enhanced color accuracy, contrast, and clarity, providing a sharp and vibrant visual experience. Method Seven lenses provide complete UV protection and are designed to maintain clarity without distorting electronic displays or aircraft windows.

FLT Lens Technology plus minus

Method Seven’s FLT lens technology is an engineering marvel, offering the closest approach to mineral glass in a shatterproof polymer lens. These lenses feature advanced anti-fog, anti-scratch, and anti-reflective interior coatings, ensuring durability and clarity in all conditions. With a neutral gray base, the FLT lens is ideal for most pilots and suitable for use in virtually any cockpit. A blue mirror flash coating enhances performance in harshly bright sunlight, making these lenses perfect for high-glare environments. Designed for aerobatics pilots, open cockpit aircraft, or anyone sensitive to the weight of traditional glass lenses, these are the lightest pilot sunglasses available, combining unparalleled comfort with superior optical protection.

18% Visible Light Transmission plus minus

Method Seven’s FLT18 lenses feature a Visible Light Transmission (VLT) of 18%, meaning they allow 18% of light to pass through the lens. This makes them perfect for most sky conditions, from overcast to clear of clouds. This versatile VLT is ideal for a broad range of pilots and aircraft, providing excellent performance in various weather conditions. With a VLT similar to the level recommended by the FAA, these lenses ensure optimal light management without sacrificing clarity or color accuracy, offering pilots superior adaptability and reliable performance across diverse flying environments.

Frame Technology

Designed for flexibility, durability, and longevity, Method Seven Pilot eyewear won't break your headset seal, ensuring you never miss a radio call. Timeless style meets endless comfort, without interruption. Developed and tested with real pilots across various professional and general aviation aircraft and cockpit configurations.

The Altitude plus minus

It's the best of both worlds—you get a thermal-injected front, with wrap and great side protection, and titanium temples for headset and helmet compatibility. It's like an Audi RS6 wagon—lambo engine, room for the kids. The Altitude is a workhorse. It's best for normal/slim faces. If you know you have a wide face, check out the Patriot Frame. Same lens choices, different design.

Titanium Frame Technology plus minus

Our titanium frames are hand-tooled by expert craftsmen, ensuring durability for everyday use and flexibility to conform to your head's shape. Titanium is naturally hypoallergenic and resistant to corrosion, making these frames a great investment in essential flight gear that will last for years to come.

Method Seven Pilot

Method Seven scientifically develops eyewear in-house and rigorously tests it in the field. Our mission is to unlock the full potential of the greatest flight instrument of all: the human eye. We are committed to enhancing vision, providing unmatched clarity, and ensuring superior protection for all pilots.

Rob "Scratch" Mitchell

Simple the best! My favorite glasses ever... and I have owned many as an airshow pilot, boater and adventurist!

Rob "Scratch" Mitchell is a highly accomplished fighter pilot with a distinguished career flying CF-18s and performing as an airshow pilot, both in the CF-18 and with the world-renowned Snowbirds jet team. It was with the Snowbirds that Scratch was able to blend his passion for aviation with his artistic talents. In 2006, he returned to the Snowbirds as Team Lead for two years.

Recently, Scratch has had the privilege of flying a classic F-86 fighter jet for Vintage Wings of Canada. He is currently thrilled to fly with the world-famous Patriots Jet Team out of California, a team that closely aligns with his guiding principles: “passion, focus, and action”—his keys to success.

"Scratch" Mitchell joined the Ace Maker team in 2018 as a third-generation fighter pilot who formerly flew with the Royal Canadian Air Force’s Snowbirds air demonstration team. He brings his extensive experience from both in and outside the RCAF to showcase the maximum performance and graceful beauty of the Shooting Star, America's first operational fighter jet and trainer, in Ace Maker’s Solo T-33 Aerobatic Demonstration.
