Why Choose Paragon Flight Training in Georgia?

Class B airspace surrounds some of the busiest commercial airports. LGC sits 60 miles southwest of Atlanta Hartsfield, close enough to serve the region but far enough outside Class B airspace to avoid the traffic that creates delays. The airport features a 6,499-foot instrument runway and a secondary 5,000-foot runway.

The renovated terminal building houses everything professional training requires, including a pilot lounge, conference room, kitchen and snooze room. Students train in an environment built for focus.

Georgia weather patterns provide over 300 fair weather days, meaning fewer weather delays. Students also learn from qualified instructors who understand FAA training requirements and help prepare them for the next steps in their aviation journey.

Meet Our Graduates

Micah D.

My name is Micah Doane, I trained through Paragon Flight for nearly all of my training until I became a Paragon Flight Instructor. From day one I could tell that Paragon was a place where I could learn about aviation at the highest level without wasting my time or money. Apart from the incredible instruction I received, I also had a blast learning to fly! I met many great friends along the way whom I still keep in contact with, most of which also fly for airlines or large charter companies now. I found instructing at paragon to be one of the most rewarding experiences of my life and I wouldn’t trade my time at the school for any other job. Training at Paragon taught me the importance of balance and showed me how to operate at an extremely high level and how to have fun while doing it. My time with Paragon fully prepared me for my next steps in an airline career and I will be forever grateful for this flight school and its community.

Will H.

The great environment that paragon made. Focusing on customer experience still stands true today. I also met my now wife while working at Paragon!

Kelsey M.

There are too many memories to list for me since I was there for about 9 years. I will say the biggest memory/experience while working there would be the lifelong friends that we all made. Paragon was just one big family unit and was literally the most fun job to go to everyday, especially since I was working with all of my friends!

Adam T.

When I worked at Paragon we were a small group of just 5 instructors. That really made it feel like a family and we had a lot of fun together sharing our passion for flying with our students. I believe that family vibe as coworkers steered me toward the corporate world of flying. My current job is a continuation of that family environment and we work very hard to fly the most important people of our company safely to their destinations and we have a lot of fun doing it at the same time!

Chris P.

Having been able to spend a lot of time with Paragon while I was there, I was able to form many great friendships with other Instructors, Employees, and Students. Many of whom we all stay in contact with to this day. My most memorable experience though by far was having our Wedding Reception in the Hangar surrounded by Friends, Family, and Various Aircraft.
