Aspiring pilots come to Paragon Flight when they want to meet all of the commercial pilot license requirements under Federal Aviation Regulations Part 141 or Part 61. We offer a range of programs, including a newly developed, accelerated course: the P3 Professional Pilot Program.

Introducing the P3 Professional Pilot Program

Commercial Pilot License Requirements Part 141The P3 Professional Pilot Program has been specifically developed by Paragon Flight to expedite the training of commercial pilots. We focus on the quality of training, assistance in securing financing, and professional development.

The time is right to become a professional pilot. The career outlook is open, and pilots are in demand. Salaries reflect this demand, with entry-level pilots earning $80,000/year and senior captains bringing in upwards of $280k/year.

The program requires fewer than ten months to complete, and the result will be a commercially licensed pilot for single and multi-engine aircraft with flight instructor credentials. 

0-10 WEEKS – Private Pilot (PPL) – This first stage provides a foundation for aviation training. It will help you develop best practices and good habits that prioritize safety and skill.

11-18 WEEKS – Instrument Rating (IFR) – Secondly, you’ll learn how to use the aircraft’s avionics, radios, communication, and navigation equipment. This training will allow you to fly in various conditions and is essential to every type of commercial pilot role. 

19-30 WEEKS – Commercial License, Single Engine and Multi-Engine (CSEL and CMEL) – The next step in the program is to earn your commercial license for both single-engine and multi-engine aircraft. We’ll prepare you to meet the high standards for commercial pilots during this training phase.

31-38 WEEKS – Certified Flight Instructor (CFI) – The last step in the program will be to learn how to pass on your knowledge to others. Acting as a flight instructor is highly beneficial. You’ll make a living, share your passion, perfect your skills, and accrue flight hours for future undertakings.
