How We Are Different
Glass Cockpit Aviation was founded by Cammie Patch in 2005. It has grown to include seven aircraft, two simulators, and six flight instructors. Our focus however, is not growth. Our goal is to be efficient and effective, and to accomplish your training goals. We achieve this goal by doing things a little different from most schools.

First of all, we don't have a lot of overhead. There is no front desk personnel, or maintenance director, or manager driving up the cost of your training. The downside of this is that you may have to leave a message when you call us with questions or to schedule your training, and there may not be anyone in the office if you stop by to check us out. We all carry Blackberry smartphones with email and text capabilities to help us be responsive to your inquiries, we think this is a reasonable trade-off.

Second, we select only the best instructors in the business. Often this means a high-time CFI with lots of instructional experience, but we have also found that some lower-time CFIs are such good teachers (and are highly motivated!) that they achieve impressive results also. We thrive on your success, and you will find that at Glass Cockpit, a successfull checkride is an exciting event for all of us because the result is our motivation. We are not concerned with image, epaulets, or growth, only your success. This is why we list our checkrides on the front page on the front page of our site, each name has a story, and each story means a lot to us. You will come here as a customer, but leave as a good friend. Be prepared to learn a lot, and laugh a lot.

Many customers say that they called us because of our good reputation around the Boise Airport, or even around the world. That is one of the highest compliments that we could get, and we work hard to keep it that way. We believe in treating people right, even if it means making a sacrifice in the short term.

If you are a CFI/CFII and your personality fits our school environment, please email us your resume. We don't hire very often, but we are always looking for the best of the best: successful CFIs that like to have fun, love people, and are motivated by the success of their customers.
