Airline Pilot School OrlandoWe offer all of the certifications and supplements that you’ll need to meet the rigorous standards put forward by the FAA for airline pilots.

The FAA administers guidelines that govern flight schools’ operations. These Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) Parts 61 and 141 offer divergent plans for training: flexibility and rigidity, respectively. The FAA allows Paragon Flight to operate under both even though most schools qualify as one or the other. The combination of FAR guidelines helps us meet the needs of all pilot candidates regardless of their current phase of life.

Paragon Flight also offers 350 days of opportunities to fly due to the perfect flying weather and nearby practice airfields.
