Jul 03,2021Fly8ma helped me pass my PPL checkride with ease! Their “how to” videos break each maneuver down and make them almost too easy to learn! I would recommend them to anyone looking for help through their aviation journey!

Jun 24,2021Quickly, and in great detail, prepared me for the FAA written. In some of the courses the speed of going over the math sometimes made it appear as if numbers were pulled out of nowhere and perhaps the organization of said math on the screen was erratically placed so it didn't flow naturally, but it all got the job done. Some videos sound would cut out between words, but you could piece it together to get the meaning.

Jun 17,2021If not for their Premium Private Ground School, I wouldn't have passed my PAR written exam. Their courses were laid out perfectly and connected well with one another. If you're looking for a reasonably priced, well informed online ground school, this is the place to go!!

Jun 15,2021The whole Fly8MA crew has been awesome! First, they inspired us through videos. Then We were able to meet Jon and Steph and host them as they traveled across the USA. They re-lit a fire to pursue aviation in us and now my daughter and I are on our Pilot Journeys. The ground-school video style and all the extra content has made my training experience much more enjoyable. The quizzes and practice tests really reenforced the content! Any questions or concerns were always handled personally and quickly!

May 26,2021I found FLY8MA when I was studying for the PPL Written, and used this to supplement another online course which I had previously purchased - got a 98! I liked Jon's style of teaching and presentation, so signed up for the IFR Written Ground School and IFR Written Boot Camp. A ran into a couple of technical issues, but received very prompt responses and resolution. Once finished, I followed up with a "drill and kill" course for final test prep but probably didn't need it. Scored a 93! When I started studying for IFR, I was completely lost and didn't know where to begin. I am now through with the IFR Written and starting my IFR flight training. Thanks Jon and Crew!

May 19,2021loved the program, most topics were easy to follow. the reason i am giving 4 stars instead of 5 is on the tests that involved VOR's and sectional charts, we are asked to determine distance which is near impossible on a computer screen.

May 06,2021Couldn’t imagine getting through the process without Fly8MA. Study at home is tough enough with all the distractions. The structure was very helpful and the test prep was spot on. Passed today with a 98%. Thought for sure I was going to end up in the mid 80’s going in. Time to get ready for the check ride in a couple weeks. Thank you all!

May 05,2021I'm a Rusty Pilot. Ex-Navy guy who is getting into GA after 20 out of the cockpit. FLY8MA's lessons were easy to digest and even reminded me of some of the things that are still applicable (note: it isn't NDBs). The lessons were a fantastic add to AOPA's Rusty Pilot course, FAA Wings programs and my FAR/AIM review. Easily passed my BFR and IPC. Highly recommended.

Apr 30,2021I used Fly8ma's Premium Private Pilot Ground School and the Private Pilot Written Test Bootcamp to do my ground school and prep for the test. They were awesome! The content is exceptional, easy to understand, and they are very prompt in answering questions as well as fixing issues in the rare event one is found. Thank you fly8ma for assisting me so well!

Feb 27,2021I used Fly8MA's commercial checkride prep course and passed with no problems! There is fantastic content, and in depth explanations you can't get anywhere else. I highly recommend Fly8MA to anyone at any stage in flight training!

Feb 10,2021I used FLY8MA for Instrument and passed my checkride in October 2020! I am using it for Commercial now. I just passed my written. I think the material is so fantastic. Reading it, hearing it, and seeing it has helped tremendously. I will continue using the program for the rest of my ratings. I have tried many pilot resources. This is by far the best one! Thank you to everyone at FLY8MA!

Feb 09,2021I passed the test with a 95% score - thank you Fly8ma & Jon!! The course delivery method was so unique and effective. Short videos kept me going and the way everything was explained is incredible. I liked the way how boring topics like regulations and visibility numbers were categorized, really helped me memorize them. I can't believe I remember the VFR visibility rules for all airspace categories now :) Good work there designing these courses the way they are!

Jan 29,2021Stephen I’m currently learning and studying for my written private pilot test and find the material great. I’ve called several times and spoke with Jon personally and find this most impressive. I’ve emailed with questions and they are followed up with an answer. I would recommend their program to everyone who is looking for real world aviation examples. I’m 60 hours into my private pilot training and wish I had started here first. Fantastic job with putting together your training material. Thank You

Jan 08,2021I used the Private Pilot course and it was very organized and clear. If I needed to review anything it was very easy to go back and find exactly what I was looking for.

Jan 08,2021I am in a program that teaches me great content and piloting skills, but doesn't really give me any EXAMPLES of what to expect in my CFI checkride. I found Jon's CFI oral at Lufthansa in Goodyear, AZ EXTREMELY helpful. It turned out that my DPE had different expectations of me than Jon's; he wanted me to just teach more than have a Q&A session. But, to see examples of how to discuss the different elements of each area of operation and how to intertwine some elements of even different areas of operations was incredibly helpful to get me more prepared and ultimately more relaxed and comfortable teaching these tasks. The series of videos for this oral exam are lengthy (my oral exam was 8 hours long, so these are shorter in comparison), but well worth the watch! Take notes!

Dec 23,2020I have been following FLY8MA.com for a while now and I could always rely upon their explanations or clarifications whenever I was kind of confused. These guys will without any doubt get you through any aviation training with such a simplicity but very efficient explanations. I got my private pilot as well as my instrument rating with such an easiness thanks to FLY8MA.com. You really have to blindly trust them or you gonna miss something !!! Now unfortunately I am back in Belgium and things are tougher over here. We do not have such people to explain things the way it should !!! Anyway, I am really grateful for having the pleasure to watch outstanding videos, learn extremely relevant tips and information. So grateful. Thank you ever so much guys you ROCK.

Dec 19,2020If you want a course to get your instrument rating… This is the one to get! I’m a 67-year-old private pilot who got my license when I was in high school and now, after being retired, I am ready to go into fullbore aviation fun! John‘s videos are short & to the point, with no messing around. Easy to understand and if you don’t get it, email him, or call him, and you will get a response very quickly. I am highly impressed.

Jul 29,2021I started watching FLY8MA YouTube during my Private Pilot Training. The videos were extremely helpful filling in the holes and explaining PPL material. I was using another test prep program at the time. I found FLY8MA so helpful I took the plunge and became a Platinum Member. I really didn't know what a good decision that was at the time. Jon and the Crew at FLY8Ma have added tremendously to the program. All the information and knowledge you need to become a Professional Pilot are available. I recently finished the IFR test prep bootcamp and found it not only valuable in getting a great passing score but Jon also explains many of the answers. FLY8MA CFI do actually answer the phone when you call as well as respond to emails. I look forward to Commercial Next!
