Why FLY8MA Works for CFIs

Built by CFIs for CFIs: We’ve walked the path, from student pilot to instructor, and we’ve compressed years of knowledge into one powerful platform to get you across the finish line faster.
Ground-First Strategy: Save valuable time in the air by mastering instructional techniques and regulations on the ground. Walk into your CFI checkride confident, competent, and ready to teach.
We Focus on Making You a Better Teacher: Being a great CFI is more than passing a test. Learn how to connect with students, teach complex topics clearly, and build a reputation that sets you apart.

Save Time. Save Money. Gain Credibility.

Becoming a Certified Flight Instructor doesn’t have to drain your wallet or your willpower. Most CFI candidates spend well over $5,000, not because of flight hours alone, but because of inefficiencies, uncertainty, and lack of clear guidance.

The process can feel overwhelming: bouncing between instructors, trying to decode FOI material, and guessing what DPEs really expect on checkride day.

At FLY8MA, we’ve streamlined everything. Our CFI training path cuts through the noise and gives you exactly what you need, so you can train smarter, avoid costly delays, and walk into your checkride prepared and confident.

You’ll save hundreds of hours of trial and error, thousands of dollars in unnecessary flight time, and earn the credibility that comes from real preparation and instructor-level mastery.

Jonathan Kotwicki

Jon is a CFI, CFII, MEI, ATP, AGI, A&P, and the rest of the alphabet. After working his way up to becoming an airline pilot, he made the decision to turn back to flight instructing as a way to give back to the aviation community.

Over the years, Jon has led flight schools from Florida to Alaska, dedicating countless hours to developing training programs and mentoring the next generation of pilots.

What Our Students Have Said:

"From Zero to Hero"

"Fly8ma took me from Zero to Hero, I came in with absolutely no aviation knowledge and in a few weeks I finished Private Pilot ground school and started flying. The lessons are perfect. You go over each lesson topic, then watch entertaining but information packed videos that explain exactly what you just learned. Jon and the other CFIs are always there to answer all the questions I’ve had with quick responses. I’m excited to use Fly8ma for all my future ratings.."

"He's a Great Teacher!"

"I never have personally meet Jon but I’d love to some day!

His YouTube videos are amazing. When I was doing my ground School and came up against something I didn’t understand I’d always go to fly8ma.com and watch a video about it. Then I’d understand!

Hes a great teacher!

Thanks Jon!"
