Glass Cockpit | Paragon Flight, Fort Myers, Florida

Unmatched Experience in Garmin G1000^® Training

It’s no secret that the Garmin G1000^® revolutionized the aviation industry forever. In fact, every major aircraft manufacturer discontinued obsolete analog round gauge installations in mid 2000’s. Glass cockpits are here to stay so why learn of yesterday’s technology?

Our experience training is glass cockpit aircraft is truly unmatched. Since the Garmin’s inception, Paragon Flight has flow over 100,000 training hours and instructed thousands of students to fly using Garmin glass cockpits. We designed our entire curriculum around teaching our students to fly utilizing Technically Advanced Aircraft (TAA) equipped with the Garmin G1000^®

If you’re new to flying, don’t make the mistake of learning on obsolete equipment. Think about it this way: would you learn to use a computer or learn to type on equipment that was new in the 1960’s 1970’s, 1980’s or even 1990? Technology is constantly evolving and aircraft are no different. Modern aircraft are technically advanced, more fuel efficient, safer and more reliable than they were even 10 years ago.

If you are already a pilot, we can help you transition to basic glass cockpit flying in as little as two or three hours. If you want to learn more, we have structured courses that will have you using a variety of features in as little as five hours. Thinking about buying a new aircraft with a glass cockpit?

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.

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.
