Simply love the FLY8MA training…
Simply love the FLY8MA training materials and experience. Most recently, they helped me achieve my CFI-S Sport Pilot Instructor rating. Thanks FLY8MA!
Best Ground School Lessons
This 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!
Best subscription and program
This 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
Private Pilot Ground School and Bootcamp
The private pilot ground school and boot camp were excellent and I highly recommend utilizing FLY8MA for your aviation training needs.
Great program
Great 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.
This course is exactly what I needed.
This 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.
Good
Although 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.
FAA commercial written prep- excellent
Excellent 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.
Scored a 92%
Took 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!
Would recommend!
Fly8ma helped me understand the various topics I was struggling on with an easy to navigate and engaging ground school setup. Would recommend!
97% on my written
97% on my written. Wow.
I took the time to go through the Premium 2022 Private Pilot Ground School. I took notes and reviewed to be sure I knew the material, then I went on to the Private Pilot Written Bootcamp.
I would recommend both to any future students.
Thorough, detailed and easy to follow.
The course content is excellent and easy to navigate. The private pilot ground school format, with supporting videos and quizzes, make the learning simple and the Written Test prep is straight forward and logical. Make no mistake, you still have to put the hours in because this is knowledge your actually need to be a competent pilot, but if you have the work ethic Fly8MA will get your ready for your tests.
Great Content and Customer Service!
My 5 star experience started when I came across fly8ma's free private pilot training course. Quality! It continued when I called the phone number to discuss options regarding the subscription level courses (necessary to earn written test endorsement) and was greeted with strong support and good advice. The video explanations are quality, but keep in mind that it does require significant effort on your part to learn everything. Fly8ma course content will help get you there. Best wishes!

Support from beginning to end was excellent. Materials prepared me for my exam and showed me where my weakness were. First time go. Block checked.

Being ADD it was nice to have the questions read out loud and answers read out loud as well. When reading answers with Sheppard Air I would be confused for some acronyms and be searching for definitions. Jon will give little extra bits when reading the questions which REALLY helped to understand the concept of the question and I received my Endorsement after completing the course.
Great classes for IFR written
Great classes for IFR written. I passed the written with no issues after taking the IFR course and Instrument written boot camp. The online content is pretty entertaining to watch too.
Recommend to all student pilots
Recommend to all student pilots! Great course, very easy to follow along with helpful quizzes to test what you learned. Videos set up in a way that is easy to remember for the written exam as well. Received quick feedback when I emailed questions which saved a lot of time trying to google things.
Super Helpful!!
Passed my written with a 93 and cruised through the oral portion of my check ride. Felt super prepared.

Just passed my PPL written test with a 95%. Highly recommend this ground school! After completing the GS and written test boot camp, I see why they advertise a 100% pass rate. Easy work!
Blue skies!!!
