Looking to fast-track your path to a Commercial Pilot License (CPL)? Paragon Flight offers one of the best accelerated training programs available in Florida. Our Professional Pilot Program (P3) transforms students from beginners to commercial pilots and certified flight instructors in as little as 10 months—a process that often takes over two years at other schools.

About the Program

P3 is a rigorous, FAA-approved Part 141 training program focused on safety, quality, and skill mastery. It is divided into four progressive phases:

• Weeks 0–10: Private Pilot License (PPL)
• Weeks 11–18: Instrument Rating (IR)
• Weeks 19–30: Commercial Single-Engine and Multi-Engine Licenses (CSEL/CMEL)
• Weeks 31–38: Certified Flight Instructor (CFI)

At the end of each phase, students are evaluated to ensure they meet the standards required to advance to the next certification level.

Why Train at Paragon?

Accelerated Timeline – P3 is designed for full-time students who can commit to 4–5 flight lessons and 10–20 hours of ground instruction weekly. This rigorous schedule significantly reduces the time and cost compared to traditional flight schools.

Ideal Training Environment – Operating out of Fort Myers – Page Field Airport and Punta Gorda Airport, Paragon students benefit from an average of over 350 flyable days per year. The region’s favorable weather conditions minimize weather-related disruptions, providing students opportunities to accumulate flight hours and gain real-world experience in diverse airspace environments.

State-of-the-Art Fleet – Our modern fleet of Technically Advanced Aircraft (TAA) includes:

• Piper PA-28 “Pilot” for single-engine instruction
• Piper PA-44-180 Seminole for multi-engine training
• Cirrus SR20 G6 for primary instruction, high-performance endorsements, and rentals
• ALSIM AL172 Flight Simulator for immersive training

These aircraft are equipped with the latest avionics and safety features, ensuring students receive top-tier training.

Financial & Student Support – At Paragon, we provide financial assistance through loans, scholarships, and grants to help make pilot training more accessible. Students also benefit from personalized academic guidance, flexible flight scheduling, and support with FAA certifications and paperwork.

Beyond earning licenses, we focus on developing leadership, decision-making, and professionalism. Paragon’s close-knit community of instructors and alumni offers ongoing mentorship and support throughout your training.

Career Preparation – Through personalized resume building, interview preparation, and direct access to a network of regional airlines, charter operators, and flight schools, Paragon graduates receive strong support in securing their first commercial pilot roles.
