Paragon Flight provides CFI training in the beautiful environment of Southwestern Florida. For those who want to achieve their goal of becoming a Certified Flight Instructor, we’re the best choice of flight school.
Fort Myers, FL, home to Paragon Flight, experiences ideal flying weather over 350 days each year. With privileges at several nearby airfields and lying within the hub of Southwest Florida air travel, Paragon Flight students enjoy maximum opportunity to log flight hours.
At Paragon Flight, we can design a course to work around your busy life, or you can choose to partake in a full-time, more traditional flight course. This variability in available training stems from our designation as both a FAR-approved Part 61 and Part 141 flight school. Schools operating under Federal Aviation Regulations Part 61 can approach instruction more flexibly whole Part 141 schools are rigid in curriculum and timeline. Luckily, Paragon Flight can provide either pathway depending on your situation.
Requirements for Certified Flight Instructors include:
A CFI training course works well when candidates have already achieved some of these requirements.
The Certified Flight Instructor certificate doesn’t make you a pilot; it makes you a teacher. When you hold this CFI certificate, you’re allowed to instruct, approve, and evaluate pilots-in-training. With a CFII certificate, you can also teach instrument rating courses, and an MEI certificate permits you to instruct pilots seeking a Multi-Engine rating.
Often, pilots pursue these certifications as they build a portfolio of experience for future plans. Even if you never plan on teaching as a long-term goal, the courses involved with gaining a CFI certificate provides an even stronger basis of knowledge surrounding practical flight experience and theory.
The courses that we provide are led by world-class pilots and guide you through real situations you will encounter both as you fly and as you teach. Our goal is to make you an instructor effective at lending your skills to another, resulting in safe and successful pilots. Our desire that our passion for flight flows toward you, your students, and so forth.
CFI training will kick your aviation career into high gear. Paragon Flight allows you to pursue your goals at your own pace without sacrificing quality.

Our Chief Flight Instructor will be happy to discuss your goals and form a plan to help you reach them with a timeline that works with your lifestyle.
