When your ambitions direct you toward becoming a commercial pilot as a non-traditional student, a Part 61 course designed with you in mind will help you meet the requirements of training. Paragon Flight has authorization of the FAA and operates under the regulations of FAR Parts 61 and 141.
In order to accept payment as a professional pilot, you must have a Commercial Pilot License (CPL). To advance to become an airline pilot, you’ll need to earn an Airline Transport Pilot (ATP) certificate and log 1,500 flight hours. A commercial license, however, is attainable with 250 flight hours with a Part 61 program or 190 with a Part 141 program.
Depending on the particular role as a pilot you seek, you’ll need further training.
For a fast pace toward your goal of becoming a commercially licensed pilot, consider the P3 Professional Pilot Program at Paragon Flight. With zero experience, you can reach your goals in fewer than 10 months! This specially designed program is meant to help fill the gaps in the occupational sector. The need for qualified pilots has risen dramatically, as have the salaries for these positions. Grab the opportunity if you meet the following qualifications to participate in the P3 Professional Pilot Program:
Why are the requirements so rigorous, you ask? The answer becomes clear when you consider the speed with which you’ll complete training.
0-10 WEEKS Private Pilot License (PPL) – foundational phase for all future aviation education, considered the most important as it builds best practices and good habits to continue learning throughout one’s career.
11-18 WEEKS Instrument Flight Rating (IFR) – second phase that teaches pilots how to use communication and navigation equipment and allows them to fly in new conditions.
19-30 WEEKS Commercial License, Single Engine & Multi Engine (CSEL & CMEL) – this specific phase prepares participants to pass the knowledge based tests and checkrides to perform as a professional pilot of either single-engine or multi-engine aircraft.
31-38 WEEKS Certified Flight Instructor (CFI) – the final phase of the program teaches commercial pilots how to share their love of flight with others. The role will allow you to enter the profession, earn a living, improve your skills, and log the flight hours you’ll need to continue with career advancement.
