Why FLY8MA Works for Commercial Pilots

  • Built by Professional Pilots, for Professional Pilots

    Our founder is a former airline pilot, ATP, CFI, and A&P mechanic with thousands of hours in real-world flight instruction. We've turned years of experience into a practical, streamlined system that works.

  • Learn on the Ground, Fly Like a Pro in the Air
    With focused online prep, you’ll save time, money, and stress in the airplane. Our courses are designed to eliminate confusion and help you get checkride-ready faster.

  • Built for Career Progression
    Whether you’re going Part 135, airline-bound, or building time as an instructor, we give you the edge to fly with purpose, precision, and confidence.

Save Time. Save Money. Fly Further.

Most commercial students spend over $7,000 earning their certificate and many retake their checkride due to gaps in preparation.


We’re here to change that.

With FLY8MA, you’ll follow a clear, efficient path to success. Our commercial training helps you avoid wasted flight hours, reduce frustration, and accelerate your progress toward becoming a professional pilot.

You’ll train smarter, pass faster, and step into your next cockpit with confidence and credibility.

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.."

- Kai A.

"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!"

- Blake M.
