Form Model Binding on Nested Routes - Cannot PATCH - Returns MethodNotAllowedException on RouteCollection on Line 219

I am getting the MethodNotAllowedException error whenever I try to submit a PATCH request to my controller. It only occurs on my nested route, all other routes that run the PATCH request work great.

routes.php:

Route::resource('customers.aircraft','AircraftController');

my form:

Form::model($aircraft, ['method' => 'PATCH', 'class' => 'form-horizontal', 'action' => ['AircraftController@update', $aircraft->id]])

Each aircraft belongs to a customer. My URL looks like this:

http://ift.tt/1NuBnCf

What I'm observing in the address bar when I get the error message is this:

http://ift.tt/1S1oogJ

I have determined that this cannot be caused by the controller, because the very first line in my @update method is dd($request); and it doesn't get that far. I assume the issue is that the route is not getting the information it needs to direct my request, it is obviously taking the aircraft_id and using it as the customer_id, but I cannot figure out how or why.

I have tried this:

Form::model($aircraft, ['method' => 'PATCH', 'class' => 'form-horizontal', 'action' => ['AircraftController@update', [$customer_id, $aircraft->id]]])

Thinking that it needed the customer_id to be sent through, but that didn't work. I'm pretty new to Laravel so I do expect this is just a lack of knowledge, however nothing on Stackoverflow, Laravel or Laracasts websites have helped me so far.
