Paragon Flight operates an award-winning flight school. We’ve been honored with recognition by the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA) many times over the years, and we work diligently to earn this recognition in our daily operations for every student pilot.
With two locations, Paragon Flight can meet the needs of many students. You’ll find us in Fort Myers (FMY) as well as Punta Gorda (PGD). We offer a tower-controlled runway, plenty of practice areas, and modern facilities for all of our students.
Furthermore, the area offers lovely weather all year long. Sunny, clear skies are more than pleasant; they provide our pilots the opportunity to complete more hours, on their schedule. This flexibility will allow you to finish your training faster, especially when you take advantage of the accelerated timeline of the P3 Professional Pilot Program.
