Got a subscription to study for my written. It made a huge difference, now I don’t know the answers due to memorization, but because I understand the reasons and intuition behind the questions. Incredible resource for student pilots!
I just completed the private pilot bootcamp and found the course very helpful. I called their office twice with questions and Jon answered the phone himself and helped me with my questions! He goes above and beyond to help anyone.
I passed my written exam with a 97 after completing the private pilot written test boot camp! It’s an outstanding course, and Jon is extremely knowledgeable and easy to listen to. 10/10 would recommend
I 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!
Course was great! Easy to follow, plenty of videos to help better understand material and would recommend and use again for sure.
Fly8ma 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!
Quickly, 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.
If 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!!
The 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!
Phenomenal content and well organized. Plus I its always easy to contact the Fly8ma team and get any information I need.
I 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!
Excellent courses. Very thorough. Went through the CFI ground and passed with no problems. Great customer service, should you need it.
loved 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.
Couldn’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!
I'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.
I 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!
I 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!
I 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!
I 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!
Stephen 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
