How to Get A Pilot License

Do the skies beckon to you? Have you been wondering how to get a pilot license? The straightforward answer is to come to Paragon Flight.

The professional flight instruction that we offer prepares you to fly as a private pilot or on a commercial basis. We cater our students’ courses to match their ambitions, experience level, finances, and schedule. Nothing should stand between you and your pursuit of the cockpit.

Paragon Flight has been honored with selection for performance and flight instructor quality by the AOPA, or Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association, numerous times. We’re authorized by the FAA through FAR, Federal Aviation Regulations, Parts 61 and 141. These two approvals permit Paragon Flight to satisfy the needs of pilots who must attend a well-structured, syllabus-driven flight program governed by Part 141 regulations as well as those students who need the flexibility in scheduling and pacing available with a 1:1 Part 61 flight program.

The southwest portion of the Sunshine State is home to Paragon Flight. This area is a great area for flight, so it draws pilots from all over the globe. The weather facilitates time in the air year-round, so our students can practice without challenge. Additionally, we have a wealth of options in terms of qualified and experienced Certified Flight Instructors (CFIs). This abundance allows us to provide the best and most diverse flight instructors for our students.

Paragon Flight partners with Jeppesen for the most impressive curriculum available. The materials available with this curriculum produce ready pilots 30% faster than the national average. They’re produced by a subsidiary of Boeing, masters of aviation.

Yet another benefit of the location that we enjoy at Page Field is the plethora of flight training sites in the area, where pilots and student-pilots can log hours without hindrance.
