Flight School – GoFly Academy
GoFly Academy is an FAA Part 141 certified flight school based in Miami at Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport (KOPF), located at 14850 NW 44th Court, Suite 204, Opa-Locka, FL 33054. The academy provides pilot training programs that progress from private pilot licensing through commercial certification and toward airline transport pilot tracks. Its stated philosophy emphasizes individualized training paths rather than a pilot factory model, with instruction delivered by Certified Flight Instructors the academy describes as professionals who are genuinely passionate.
Training offerings and listed starting prices include Private Pilot License training from $11,450, Instrument Rating at $10,598, Commercial Single Engine at $25,778, Commercial Multi-Engine at $6,705, and Certified Flight Instructor certification at $6,900. An accelerated Zero to Hero program toward commercial pilot certification starts from $68,333. The academy also offers foreign pilot license convalidation services and ATP CTP training through its partner, Air Vegas Services. The quoted figures reflect member-only rates based on FAA minimum requirements, with actual costs varying by each student’s progress.
A distinctive feature is the academy’s FAA self-examining authority for its Part 141 Private Pilot and Instrument courses, which allows checkrides to be administered in-house for a flat $300 administrative processing fee and reduces typical delays tied to scheduling external examiners. The training fleet consists of FAA-compliant aircraft and is supported by a Redbird FMX full-motion simulator for ground-based practice.
Prospective students can book discovery flights to experience controlled flight under instructor guidance before committing to a program.
