Fulfill your dreams of becoming an airline pilot at Paragon Flight; a pilot-centered school found a few hours drive from Orlando in Fort Myers, FL. With Captain’s wings come plenty of time doing what you love, traveling, experiencing new cultures, and meeting interesting people. Earn those wings with us for great training and fun experiences.
We 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. We operate out of Page Field airport in Fort Myers, the general aviation hub of Southwest Florida. The facilities include a tower-controlled runway, outstanding fleet of aircraft, and modern curriculum.
The job of an airline pilot, in essence, is to transport travelers from one airport to another. The responsibility of the position requires absolute expertise and great experience in all elements of aviation. If your dreams include earning this certification, you should be prepared to demonstrate this deep well of knowledge and ability.
Airline pilots are known as Captain and Co-Captain. The PIC, or Pilot-in-Command, leads operation of the aircraft, and the Second-in-Command assists and is prepared to take over as PIC when required.
At Paragon Flight, you’ll find all of the training required including the following:
