Method Seven develops advanced, non-polarized optical technology specifically for the visual demands of aviation. Our proprietary notch filtering selectively reduces harsh wavelengths of light while preserving useful visual information, enhancing contrast, clarity, and natural color perception. Engineered to provide full UV protection without the electronic display visibility issues associated with polarized lenses, Method Seven optics help pilots maintain a clear view of instruments, aircraft windows, and the surrounding environment.

Method Seven Pilot frames are engineered for the specific demands of aviation, combining lightweight materials, flexibility, durability, and a secure fit. Our headset-compatible designs feature ultra-thin temples that minimize pressure, help maintain headset seals, and reduce interference with flight helmets and oxygen equipment. Developed and tested with professional and general aviation pilots, each frame is purpose-built for comfort, stability, and clear communication during flight.

Method Seven scientifically develops eyewear engineered for the unique visual demands of aviation. Through in-house optical research, precision engineering, and extensive field testing with professional and general aviation pilots, we create purpose-built lenses and frames that enhance clarity, contrast, comfort, and protection. Our mission is to unlock the full potential of the most important flight instrument of all: the human eye.

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.
