Florida is an idyllic refuge for pilots. The weather and plethora of practice fields provide plenty of opportunities for pilots to enjoy some time in the air, and we leverage this high percentage of pilots within the population to hire the best Certified Flight Instructors (CFIs) available. We endeavor to ensure that we offer our students their pick of aircraft style, purpose of flight, and even teaching style.
Made by a Boeing subsidiary, the Jeppesen curriculum is one of the best in the industry, helping pilots complete their training 30% faster than the national average.
At Paragon Flight, we provide a catalog of courses that will complete your training no matter your goals. Start wherever you are and progress from there. Our course offerings include a Private Pilot License (PPL), Instrument Rating (IFR), Commercial Pilot License (CPL), Multi-Engine Rating, and the option to become a Certified Flight Instructor (CFI/CFII). With continued training and 1,500 documented flight hours, you can earn your way to become an Airline Transport Certified Pilot.
Every one of our programs can be completed on-site. We have a fleet of aircraft that includes all appropriate aircraft including single- and multi-engine aircraft, sporting planes, and a top-tier simulator. Models within the fleet include the Cessna C172S Skyhawk, Piper PA-44-180 Seminole, Cessna T182T Skylane, Cirrus SR20 G6, Cirrus SR22 G5/G6, and ALSIM AL172 Flight Simulator.
