The professional pilot program at Paragon Flight in Florida is the ideal solution for aspiring pilots who want to earn their wings as quickly and affordably as possible. We designed this program with the specific goal of helping pilots take advantage of the surge in demand for commercial pilots in the aviation industry.

Learning to fly should be a fun, memorable experience, but never at the expense of safety and readiness. Paragon Flight ensures students experience all the knowledge they deserve, surpassing all expectations.
The Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA) frequently honors us for the quality of our training and the flight instructors we employ. Our results surpass all of our students’ expectations.
From the beginning, consider the location of our flight schools in Florida. The flagship flight school operates out of Page Field in Fort Myers, and we have a satellite location in Punta Gorda at the Punta Gorda Airport (PGA). The climate in Southwest Florida enables plenty of flight time. Our students can be confident of opportunities to practice without concerns about downtime due to weather.
Our Professional Pilot Program is an intense training series. Participants can start from ground zero and graduate with a Private Pilot License (PPL), Instrument Flight Rating (IFR), Commercial Single-Engine and Multi-Engine License (CSEL and CMEL), and Certified Flight Instructor (CFI) credentials—all within 10 months! As you can imagine, this level of training requires dedicated focus, so we have a stringent set of prerequisites for applicants.

Over the years, we have also developed relationships with lenders who value aviation and work with students.
Paragon Flight offers many different flight training programs. We look forward to training newbies who want to fly as a hobby and beyond, offering professional training and even rentals for established pilots.
