One Program. One Path.

Invest in the Path. Protect Your Momentum. Paragon’s P3 Professional Pilot Program provides a structured path from your first flight through the certificates and ratings needed to begin working as a professional pilot.

Just as important, it is designed around consistent training cadence—because training frequently helps you retain proficiency, progress efficiently and avoid spending additional time and money relearning skills. Whether you are starting with zero experience or bringing previous training with you, your program and investment are built around your starting point, goals and the certificates you need.

“I met a lot of great people and made some life long friends that I still stay in touch with from my time at Paragon. From the instructors I had to the students I taught, it’s been really cool to see everyone’s aviation experiences, all of which started at Paragon.”

Our monthly 7 on 7 meetings. Everyone in the company gathered to talk about how we can be better and safer. I keep that as a vital role in my career today and routinely reflect on my past month to see how I can be better.
