Aviation Instruction Courses

Flight training courses from Paragon Flight enable pilot-hopefuls to reach their goals, personally and professionally. From private pilot licensing to instrument rating, commercial training, multi-engine training, and airline pilot training, a wide range of training is available, and we provide training for government and military pilots.
We work under FAA Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) Parts 61 and 141. These dual authorizations allow us to provide one-on-one customized programs for candidates with part-time availability and full-time Part 141 courses for traditional students who prefer a more structured learning environment or who require a Part 141 program, like international students or those using GI benefits.
The P3 Professional Pilot Program is of particular interest since we’re able to accelerate the training timeline – saving appropriate candidates both time and money.
