At Kangawallafox Flight School, we’ve found the GoFly training books to be an invaluable resource for both instructors and students. The clear, structured content makes preparing for exams straightforward and reliable, helping our students build confidence and understanding. As instructors, having a high-quality, trusted reference ensures we can guide students effectively and consistently.

Cameron, CFI at Kangawallafox Flight School

Overall quality is great. From what I’ve read so far, the content is excellent! I’m training through Hastings District Flying Club at Port Macquarie. I plan to show the book to instructors and other students.

A world class training resource for pilots and pilots in training. I came back to flying after an almost 30 year absence and this platform that Damien and his team have put together was one of the main factors that helped me remember and learn how to fly again. It is a very good way to learn prior to your lesson and then strengthen your learning after each lesson. I can’t recommend this learning portal highly enough. An inspiration to other business owners on how to create content of value.
Well done team.

Before each flight, I prepare by watching the online videos and doing the online quizzes. When I arrive at the airfield, my instructor will go through the key points, answer any questions and ask me a few questions to gauge my understanding. I find this approach highly valuable in preparing for each flight training session and it sets my expectations of the exercises we will then go through that day. As I progress through my training in circuits, I often review several videos to refresh myself on topics already completed in the  syllabus. I highly recommend this approach to flight training and it really contributes to maximising the value of the time spent with the instructor.

One of the great advantages of the GoFly Online system is the Easy Books available on the platform,which cover BAK, Radio procedures, Pre-solo rules and Air Legislation.  They have made studying for the exams so much easier for me.  Because they are available online it has meant that rather than carrying several books around with me I can always have access to the information wherever I am.  This has meant that I can easily fit in a bit of studying even when out and about and has massively increased the amount of time I can access and revise the study material.  Not only this. but the fact that the books are all backed up with multiple choice practice exams means that it has also been easy to test your knowledge on the individual subjects.  Using both of these tools it is both easy to revise subjects and assess what your knowledge is like using the exams.  Another really useful feature of the practice quizzes is that the answers are linked to the relevant paragraphs in the easy books so when you get an answer wrong you can instantly check the relevant portion of the book the answer is related to without having to search through the entire book.  The books are well written and easy to read on the screen, they also have a useful word search function which I used several times.  I have looked at other books and study methods but have found the Easy Books and practice exams by far the best resource, since they highlight and summarise all the key information into an easy to study format.  I have read the first three Easy Books just once and passed each of the exams the first time, so GoFly is obviously doing something right!  I would highly recommend them!

Stefano, Darling Downs Aero Club

I was really time-poor with other life commitments when trying to put attention to passing my pre-solo examination. I had one read of the GoFly Online Easy Books the night before my first attempt (of which I thought would be many), and scored 92% ! Damien and the team have amalgamated the information in such a practical way, using brevity and professional insight, that really focuses you on the things you need to learn to become a knowledgeable pilot. The books were easy to access, intuitive to follow, and left me feeling surprisingly confident with such little study. A really innovative way to prepare yourself. 10/10.

If you are considering learning to fly this is a great way to learn about and enter the world of aviation.

Damien and his team have produced an extensive library of step by step videos which link perfectly with each lesson.

This means that you can watch a video before your lesson and then watch it again after your lesson to help improve your understanding and retention.

A world class process that you can utilise from anywhere in Australia to help you learn.

If you’re learning to fly then this is a hugely valuable resource for you.

Dave D

I must say that your video library is fantastic and the best I have seen, so feel privileged to be able to have access to these resources

Rowman

Having just commenced flight training for a RPC with a local flight school and then getting hit with a COVID lockdown, your videos are a vital part of what I need to retain my learning and prepare for future lessons ahead of the lifting of restrictions.

John

Great work on the AvPlan quizzes. The site is so fabulous now with the amount of content you have displayed.

Rebecca, AvPlan

Every student that watches these videos before their flight with me, usually starts the lesson on a high note, and grasps the entire lesson much faster than students that only have the generic pre-flight briefing on a white board.

Nathan Slee, Chief Pilot

I wanted to endorse the GoFly Online video subscription service as a must-have for the aspiring student and new pilot.

I was able to move through my RPC and Cross Country endorsement with a level of confidence and belief that came from the video series. My instructor was terrific and I found that accessing the videos in between lessons allowed me to visualise what I was likely to experience in the cockpit throughout the syllabus. This was invaluable. The videos can be watched over and over until you are able to understand the importance of each step and component of the syllabus.

As a new and inexperienced pilot, I intend maintaining my subscription to provide me with a go-to source of information around all aspects of flying. There will always be a need to revise procedures and the GoFly platform is ideal for this.

I have no doubt my training would have taken longer and been more stressful if I hadn’t utilised this terrific tool.

Well done Damien and Team

Hey Damien,
Wanted to let you know that I think you’re producing some great content and I enjoy see you on my Twitter feed!

Adam Utz, Flight Schedule Pro (United States)

Those videos; they are awesome. I don’t know how many times I’ve watched the lessons and also moved the cursor back and watched a particular bit over and over until I understood the concept. Those flight schools that don’t have videos like these, I reckon they are at a great disadvantage.

Marcel, GoFly Graduate

My flight training has been amazing. The videos have helped me so much and I don’t think I could be progressing without them. All the information is right at my fingertips before I even sit the cockpit because of the GoFly Online content.

Jarva, scholarship student

I find they are great for watching when you are exercising or when you are wanting to learn but in a less intense way eg. when you’re a bit tired. It’s a great refresher.

Sam, RPC & Nav student

I think the logical approach and ease of subject location is very good. The diagrams and illustrations are also clear and not over- complicated. By far the best RAAUS theory books I have seen.

‘The videos have certainly been a huge help. It’s been great to be able to view the lessons before flying them in the air and review them after you get back on the ground and they’ve been invaluable in being able to nail the board briefs.  I highly recommend subscribing to the GoFly Online platform.’

David – Instructor Rating student

Ross, Melbourne pilot (during COVID lockdown)

I am an RPL pilot currently working on my Nav and CTA endorsements and these courses are incredibly helpful and are proving invaluable to my training. Not only are they Australian-based which makes them much more relevant than overseas online courses, but the content is very thorough, with each stage broken down into easy-to-follow sections. Well done!

From our feedback form

‘I would like to personally thank you for creating your GoFly Online learning program and offering student pilots like myself the ability to continue learning 24/7 in the comfort of their own home. After wanting to learn to fly for many years I stumbled upon the GoFly Online lessons. Hesitant at first to purchase them, I took the leap and purchased the online program. I now watch the lessons on a regular basis and have found it to be the most professional, informative, educational and affordable online flying syllabus available and is a valuable resource to anybody looking to learn to fly or is currently doing flying lessons. The GoFly online lessons are great for refreshing your memory before your next hands-on lesson and they give you a clear insight into what your instructor will be wanting you to do in order to fly accurately and safely to obtain your pilot certificate. When learning to fly, you are taking in so much new information in each lesson, so this is a fantastic way to relax and look at the key points of a lesson slowly and at ease, and you can replay and go over things as many times as you need, which is great!

I guarantee that any student pilot currently working towards their pilot certificate will enjoy watching and immersing themselves in GoFly Online as much as I have. I have found it to be invaluable in my flight training.’

Adrian, Rockhampton

‘GoFly provided me with very good resources, especially the online training, which I could watch at home and replay it back, watching it and watching it and watching it, until I understood.’

Judite, RPC student from Singapore

‘I don’t think I could have done it without the videos. They made it very easy to get the knowledge into my head. I was able to watch them over and over again, so that when I rocked up for my lesson I was well prepared. They were really good for learning the ‘patter’ and I think having access to GoFly Online has made me a much better pilot.’

Paul, Instructor candidate

‘The videos have certainly been a huge help. It’s been great to be able to view the lessons before flying them in the air and review them after you get back on the ground and they’ve been invaluable in being able to nail the board briefs.  I highly recommend subscribing to the GoFly Online platform.’

David – Instructor Rating student

‘You can watch the GoFly videos when you are eating or taking a one hour break from other tasks. The most valuable thing is that I can  watch them anywhere, any time.’

Guillaume, Switzerland

‘Comprehensive content, yet explained in a very simple manner. The videos have been filmed by experienced flight instructors and the content really has a global application so students anywhere in the world can accelerate their learning and become better pilots.’

World of Aviation magazine

‘I purchased Damien’s ‘Learn to Fly’ DVDs back in 2015. I revisited the GoFly website this month and discovered the wealth of online content there now; a brilliant offering. I have to say, communication with GoFly has been impeccable. Thanks for rectifying my access issue.’

Rob, New Zealand pilot

The videos are great and a fantastic resource to improve learning and competency.

Mark Heinrich, Aviation High

Fraser

I have decided to spend the year saving a lump so I can pay in bulk and do more frequent flying lessons, so I decided to get your videos to watch repeatedly in the meantime while saving. The videos are really helpful, definitely worth the money.

J P Wiatkowski

Initial impression: WOW! A full-on ‘gets my attention’ website.. simple and very effective.

Patrick Hanna

As an aerospace teacher, it has always been frustrating for me trying a obtain a reliable set of notes for the RAAus theory component. It got to the point where I was using 6 different books just to try to prepare students for the theory exams. Unfortunately, a number of our students were taking 3 and 4 attempts to pass. I started to use your website in 2023 and introduced it for our students. As a result, we now have 15 year old students passing the Radio and Pre-Solo Legislation exams easily and on their first attempt and going solo.

Phil Ryrie, Snowy Mountains Grammar School

The website has a huge amount of valuable, quality content which will significantly increase students’ skills. The videos are extremely informative and easy to follow. The layout is user-friendly and will be a breeze for students to keep up-to-date with lessons and videos throughout their training. GoFly Online is a great resource for students to access and will greatly benefit their training.
