Airline Pilot Training USA
Ambitious pilots who want to climb the ladder of aviation all the way to the top pursue airline pilot training, and in the USA, Paragon Flight is the ideal source.
The FAA regulates the activities of flight schools through FAR Parts 61 and 141. While many flight schools are authorized under one Part or the other, Paragon Flight has authorization under both so that we are able to welcome students with short terms of time for study as well as full-time students.
Part 61 regulations are flexible, allowing students to earn their credentials at their own pace while Part 141 regs let us welcome veterans with GI benefits and international pilots on student visas.
Perfectly Positioned for Piloting Practice
Paragon Flight calls Page Field (FMY) in Fort Myers home. Page Field is the hub of business and general flight in Southwest Florida. This area has a wonderful environment for flight training, with ideal weather over 350 days of the year, many practice airfields, and places to stay that will work for all budgets.
Our programs are bespoke to the student-pilot. Your goals and prior experiences will guide your flight training program, and we’ll provide a plan and a quote to allow you to consider our flight school.
The Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association, AOPA, is the nation’s leading aviation advocacy group, and we’re proud to have been honored by them several times in the past years for our commitment to excellence. Every single day, we work to keep earning this recognition.

The Certified Flight Instructors (CFIs) at Paragon Flight have varied, lengthy experiences. Florida has a wealth of pilots because it’s such a terrific place for pilots, so we’re able to choose from a highly qualified pool, and because of this choice, we provide the best trainers for our students. We will also make sure that the instructor works with your personality and learning style too.

Paragon Flight uses the Jeppesen curriculum, developed by Boeing and proven to produce qualified pilots 30% faster than the national average. These materials and methods are powerful resources for the developing pilot.
The journey to become an airline pilot can be long and difficult, but the career is a rewarding one, and one that’s in high demand.
