The Nolly Productions Video Archive

After finishing his second combat tour in Vietnam, George Nolly left the service to explore the private sector as an airline pilot.  By 1979, he was a Systems Instructor for United Airlines with an underground following for his teaching style. With the introduction of the home VCR and video camera, one of his students approached him with the idea of creating Systems Reviews for pilots to help them through ground school — a first of its kind. 

This was the genesis of the Aviation Training Video Industry. What started as a small ad in the back of Air Line Pilot Magazine grew into a million dollar company within the span of a few years. The courses ranged from Systems Reviews, to Test Preparation, to How to Get an Airline Job — all created on the latest video technology from 1979 to 1983.

The Nolly Productions Video Archive is now available free of charge during this global pandemic. While video technology has changed over the last 40 years, the principles of Aviation have remained the same.

Our first series, Career Path Videos, provides information a pilot needs to get ready for an airline interview and excel during the check ride.

The FAA Collection offers training videos from the FAA for the General Aviation Community. You’ll learn everything from how weather affects flying conditions to how high altitude affects response time.

And finally, our highly-acclaimed Systems Review Videos are comprehensive training for jumping into new equipment, Ground School home study, or review prior to a Proficiency Check.
