Piper Aircraft, Inc. assigned Chuck W. Glass, the director of its global flight training and fleet programs, to the State of Brunei Darussalam, strengthening the company's sales office in that strategic location. Glass continues to report to Piper Executive Vice President Randy Groom.

"Chuck is a seasoned executive with international experience," said Groom. "Adding his talents to the Brunei Sales Office will allow him to focus considerable attention to an area of the world that has huge potential for fleet sales. He will concentrate on fleet sales in the Asia/Pacific region and exercise his worldwide fleet sales responsibilities from that important location," Groom added.

Glass joined Piper in April. A former senior U.S. Army officer and aviator, Glass retired from his final Pentagon posting as director of Military Attaché Operations for South Asia to pursue a career in general aviation flight training. Previously he served in Beijing as Diamond Aircraft's chief representative for China.

Before joining Diamond, he was president and CEO for the Beijing Pan Am International Aviation Academy and senior vice president, Career Pilot Division, for Pan Am International Flight Academy. Other positions Glass has held include national director of Education for the Westwood School of Technology and dean of Aviation Studies at Miami-Dade Community College in Miami, Fla.
