Jan 13,2024Jon and his team were super helpful getting me started with ground school and all the way through my training. The online course is laid out very clearly with lots of videos. When I had questions I got a prompt response and scored a 97% on my FAA written test. Thank you FLY8MA Team!

Dec 09,2023I do believe the course presented holds valuable information for most people, but I do not believe their is great care taken for newbies. There is a lot of jargon that is used, which stunts the learning process. There are also several modules that are not recorded well, so it is hard to understand the instruction that is being taught when recorded via an aircraft. The quizzes had issues of their own, as they do not show you what wrong answers was given, not allowing room to learn from said quizzes. I do believe this course is suited for some and there is no doubt that it is a comprehensive course, but make sure you try to watch some of Jon and Fly8ma’s content on YouTube before purchasing. This is to make sure their style of teaching matches your style of learning. I did not feel like the course was suited for me so i decided to reach out to request a refund. I spoke with Jon regarding my situation with the course and he informed me that he could not process a refund because I had the course for about 5 weeks at the point of talking to him. I could understand his position, but I explain to him that I preemptively bought the course assuming it would be great based on the reviews I’ve seen. I did not have time to delve deeper into the course until around the time I requested the refund as I did not find it user friendly for myself. I truly wish there was a trial that I could have tested to make sure the course would work for me, but nonetheless, there wasn’t.

Jun 02,2023I'm working toward getting my PPL. After watching all of the free Private Pilot Ground School videos @ FLY8MA.com, I decided to sign up for the Silver Subscription and take the Boot Camp to prepare for the written exam. After completing the Boot Camp, I scheduled my exam for the next availability. And as of about an hour ago today, I just passed the exam with an 87! The info that Jon shares at FLY8MA is spot on; I would definitely recommend!

Apr 29,2023I liked and appreciated the CFI material and training videos and documentation. It did help me confirm that what I was doing was sufficiently preparing me for my CFI check ride. The feedback I got from the DPE was that I needed to get more into the regulations. questions such as you receive a student who is a helicopter pilot out of the army and he wants to do his fixed wing conversion....what does he need from you? I feel like I could have done better in that regard. I did buy slides from backseat pilot for this ride which the DPE liked. I did not see such material on your site. I think that the CFI check ride material could be improved. There is no one out there that is ...imho... guiding students in a confident and complete direction for the CFI check ride. It is a confusing rating to navigate and a more clear guided path could be provided. I also used Gleam to prepare for this check ride which was a confusing experience. I did well on the FOI portion but not so well on the FIA portion even though I was scoring in the 90s before each test. I signed up late for your course and I could not get to the study questions. All in all I like your material, your videos, and would love to come fly with you and stay at the lodge one day.

Apr 29,2023Excellent level and quality of content. Obviously nothing beats live flight training but this is the next best thing. I am currently studying aerospace engineering and I am learning a lot from FLY8MAs tutorials and best of all, it's free! Highly recommended.

Apr 29,2023Flight training is going slow, because, when I am working I don't have the time and when I'm not working I don't have the money... Unless I can find an affordable place to stay while I'm off work I'm going have to wait until I can make enough money for flight training and afford the cost of living at the same time... I'm not a rich man but I do have a good job with good pay and benefits so I can save enough money eventually to do it.. I just hope I can do it before I get to old as I'm 64 now...BTW, thanks for putting your online class for free, even though I have not gotten very far in my quest of flying your site has helped me to get educated, so thank you very much...

Apr 29,2023Simply love the FLY8MA training materials and experience. Most recently, they helped me achieve my CFI-S Sport Pilot Instructor rating. Thanks FLY8MA!

Apr 20,2023This is the best online ground school out there. Teaches beyond rote memory and helps students understand the content and develop critical thinking skills that are necessary in aviation. Could not recommend more!

Feb 15,2023This was the best thing I could have done. The lessons were nice and concise to the point. Having a top down explanation allow for better comprehension. Well worth the subscription with my busy life. Thank you

Nov 30,2022Great program, easy to work through and would recommend to anyone interested in PPL. I supplement with the Sporty’s App just to have practice questions available on my phone and that’s an inexpensive add-on I would recommend was well. Took test this AM and scored a %100.

Nov 23,2022This course is exactly what I needed to get prepared for the test. The course gave me the instruction and guidance I needed to be proficient and confident for the written exam.

Nov 15,2022Although some of the videos are a bit dated, and the "new" 2022 PPL course came out right as I finished the PPL written Boot Camp, it was nice working at my own pace around life and being able to get my endorsement for the test. I scored an 83%, which isn't stellar, but I'm happy I passed it, and could not have done it without Jon and the crew.

Oct 27,2022Excellent experience working through the commercial written test prep. Very thorough coverage of the topics, purposefully designed to focus on test readiness. Questions were addressed quickly, easy communications.
James Andrews
Aug 25,2022Took my written test today and scored a 92%! I would recommend FLY8MA for anyone that is a visual or somewhat hands on type of learner. The videos are very detailed and I don't think they could've done any better! They were quick to respond to messages and were really eager to help! Great job FLY8MA Team!

Jan 28,2025The IRF course is very indepth, and I passed the actual exam in the 1st try. Jon will take the time to review concepts with you if needed. Definitely recommend using Fly8MA.
