Accelerated Flight Training Private Pilot
Ready to fulfill your dreams of flight as quickly as possible? Come to Paragon Flight and participate in an accelerated flight training program to become a private pilot 30% faster than the national average.
A Private Pilot License (PPL) allows aviators to enjoy various experiences. Avoid traffic by flying your family to a vacation destination, enjoy the beauty of the natural world from a new perspective, or enjoy the thrill of flight. You’ll also have the foundational knowledge and skills needed to progress toward further aviation education, including commercial licensing, flight instructor certification, and even airline transport pilot certification.
At Paragon Flight, your pilot training will be limited only by your goals and plans. We’re a dually authorized flight school—with FAR Part 61 and 141 authorization—able to provide custom training programs with scheduling and flexibility to meet pilot candidates’ needs.
Established in 2006 and repeatedly recognized by the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA), Paragon Flight is worthy of consideration when choosing a flight training source. Our training programs are based on the Jeppesen curriculum, materials developed by a subsidiary of Boeing, and have been proven to produce ready pilots much faster than most curricula.
PARAGON FLIGHT’S PATH TO PRIVATE PILOT LICENSING
Schedule Your Discovery Flight
A Discovery Flight session allows prospective pilots to taste what flight training will be like. It allows you to dip your toe in before taking the full plunge. You’ll spend about an hour with an elite flight instructor, learning about the equipment, systems, and safety, followed by an actual flight where you’ll likely have the opportunity to take control for a short period. From there, you can make an informed decision about further instruction.
Fundaments of Flight Training (20-30 hours of flight experience)
This phase will introduce you to the basics of aviation. You’ll learn the lingo, flight principles, airport/airspace operations, communications, weather, FAA regulations/rules, checklist procedures, and flight maneuvers. We’ll ensure you’re ready to proceed from this stage with a “Stage Check” before you move on.
Advanced/Solo Flight Training (10-15 hours of flight experience)
This stage will advance your skills further with the mastery of landings, cross-country navigation, and more. This stage will also culminate with a “Stage Check.”
Examination and Testing (10-15 hours of flight experience)
During this last phase of private pilot training, you’ll participate in your previous solo flights and button up any requirements. Then, you’ll focus on preparing for the FAA oral and flight exams with your instructor. We will evaluate you with the “final exam, ” the End of Course (EOC) Flight. At this point, we deem you ready to take and pass the check-ride.
Participating in and passing the FAA exams will make you a certified private pilot.
