Paragon Flight, with three flight school locations, offers instruction to meet the needs of every potential aviation student. From beginning to advanced pilot training, courses for every aviator are available here. Keep reading to learn more about the range of flight training that awaits at Paragon Flight. Paragon Flight’s flagship location calls Page Field (FMY) in Fort Myers, FL, home, and we have two satellite locations, one each in Punta Gorda, FL, at the Punta Gorda Airport (PGA) and LaGrange, GA, in the LaGrange-Callaway Airport (LGC). These flight school locations provide ideal facilities and weather conditions for flight training.
We operate as an FAA-authorized flight training institution governed by Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) Parts 141 and 61. These two sets of guidelines let us provide access to all aspiration pilots, including those available full-time and those limited to part-time hours due to competing occupational and familial obligations.
Part 141 courses are highly structured with full-time schedules. Students with traditional financial aid packages, veterans with GI benefits, and international students on an M-1 Student Visa must participate in Part 141 programs.
The Part 61 courses, on the other hand, are flexible in pacing and structure, including one-on-one pairings.
