Accelerated Commercial Pilot Training

Paragon Flight offers accelerated commercial pilot training for aspiring pilots all over the globe. Whether you fly a cargo plane, work as a private pilot, or captain an airliner, your career will begin with a commercial pilot license. Our newest Program, the P3 Professional Pilot Program, will facilitate these goals in under ten months and with less expense.
The Accelerated Timeline of the P3 Professional Pilot Program

• 0 – 10 WEEKS – PPL – Private Pilot License

The most important phase of the Program, the first phase, provides the foundation for the development of best practices to perform as a skilled pilot.

• 11 – 18 WEEKS – IFR – Instrument Flight Rating

The second phase teaches how to use communication and navigation systems in the aircraft. This skill is essential for commercial pilots, regardless of the field.

• 19 – 30 WEEKS – CSEL & CMEL – Commercial License, Single-Engine, and Multi-Engine

Next, pilots will master single- and multi-engine flight in all conditions, preparing for commercial aviation positions.

• 31 – 38 WEEKS – CFI – Certified Flight Instructor

Many commercial pilots begin their careers as flight instructors. This role enables them to accrue flight hours needed for future positions while sharing their passions and earning a living. Paragon Flight gives our program graduates preferential consideration during hiring should you decide to apply with us.

The Paragon Flight Setting

The timeline we offer with the P3 Program would be impossible without the setting we enjoy here at Page Field in Fort Myers, FL. Firstly, the weather accommodates regular flight training with 350+ days of ideal flying conditions each year. Also, the airport we call home provides access to a tower-controlled runway and plenty of practice fields.
The facilities at Paragon Flight are impressive, and the Technically Advanced Aircraft combined with stellar flight instructors and the Jeppesen curriculum creates the ideal flight instruction package.
