The FAA authorizes Paragon Flight to provide flight training under FAR Parts 61 and 141. This dual authorization allows us to create bespoke programs for each student, all within the parameters of FAA regulations. You’ll spend all the time with your instructor, and you need to meet the qualifications and be a safe and confident pilot. We provide nothing less.
Our aircraft are all Technically Advanced Aircraft (TAA) qualified, and FAA-screened mechanics and processes keep them. Our fleet includes the Piper PA28 “Pilot” for single-engine training; the PA-44 Seminole for multi-engine training; the Cirrus SR20 for primary flight instruction, high-performance endorsements, single and multi-day rentals, and transition/differences training; and the ALSIM Flight Simulator for affordable and safe training from the safety of the ground.
As a Part 141-authorized fight school, Paragon Flight can welcome international students on an M-1 Student Visa, university students with aviation scholarships and government-backed student loans, and veterans using GI benefits.
Why do most aviation enthusiasts forego fight training? A lack of financial resources is too often the cause of unfulfilled aviation dreams. Paragon Flight has a long history, which has allowed us to become familiar with the various resources available and contacts within the industry that can benefit our students, including personal lenders who specialize in supporting the goals of future pilots. We’re able to help you as you work through the complications of identifying appropriate resources, applying for them, and securing financing for your training.
