Airline Pilot Training in Illinois
If the fun of flight and an airline pilot’s salary appeal to you, now is the perfect time to answer the call with airline pilot training. Paragon Flight in Florida provides a straightforward path that reduces the costs and time required in a way other flight schools in Illinois and elsewhere can’t. The P3 Professional Pilot Program is a unique, thoughtfully designed course that will take you from zero experience to commercially licensed, Certified Flight Instructor (CFI) in 38 short weeks.
The streamlined nature of our P3 program is one part of what makes it so unique. Becoming an airline pilot generally includes a complicated series of disparate steps that you’ll have to arrange1 and pursue. This process can make it take longer to achieve your ultimate goal.
Overall, the P3 Professional Pilot Program focuses on the quality of training rather than quantity. We also prioritize helping students secure appropriate financing and develop the essential leadership skills pilots need.
Breakdown of the P3 Program:
Weeks 0-10 Private Pilot (PPL) – The initial phase of the program, the first ten weeks will focus on providing you with a strong and broad foundation for the rest of your pilot education.
Weeks 11-18 Instrument Flight Rating (IFR) – The second step in the program is to learn to fly using aircraft navigation and communication systems. All Paragon Flight aircraft are outfitted with Glass Cockpit Technology and advanced avionics so that our students learn skills that readily transfer to the aircraft they’ll fly in their future careers.
Weeks 19-30 Commercial License, Single Engine and Multi-Engine (CSEL and CMEL) – The path to commercial licensing will follow, earning your instrument rating. This substantial portion of the program provides mastery training that surpasses professional pilots’ expectations and safety demands.
Weeks 31-38 Certified Flight Instructor – The last phase of the P3 Program is to become a Certified Flight Instructor (CFI). Most pilots enter the field as flight instructors, accumulating experience and honing their skills while making a living.
