The difference between pursuing commercial pilot school in Fort Myers, FL and Everett, WA is unbelievable. Paragon Flight, in Southwest Florida, is able to provide 350+ days of beautiful weather for practical experience and racking up flight hours. This convenient access will be impossible given the weather patterns of the Northwest.

Flight schools operate under Federal Aviation Regulations, referred to by Parts. FAR Parts 61 and 141 govern flight schools, and most schools operate under one or the other. We at Paragon Flight operate as both. Because we can provide the adjustability of a Part 61 course and the structure of a Part 141 program, we can blend both options for the most appropriate, custom option.
Flight instruction follows a two-fold path of ground and air training. Written and practical measurements will be little challenge when we’re done with training. We work to readiness, so you can feel confident.
The Jeppesen curriculum, which we’ve been uniquely selected to use, has proven to be 30% faster than the national average regarding the time required to complete training. During your ground training, you will learn everything required of you including systems, regulations, weather, aerodynamics, and more.
The practical experience provided to students is as equally thorough as our ground training. You’ll experience takeoff, landing, night settings, and more so that you’re well-prepared for all potential real-life circumstances.
The fleet used at Paragon Flight is advanced, qualifying as complex for FAA requirements. The skills learned using Glass Cockpit technology will transfer to the airplanes you fly in your future career. Within this well-kept fleet, you will find the models of Cessna C172S Skyhawk, Piper PA-44-180 Seminole, Cessna T182T Skylane, Cirrus SR20 G6, Cirrus SR22 G5/G6, and ALSIM AL172 Flight Simulator. All of the models are the perfect standard for training and diligently kept according to FAA standards.
Yet another benefit of Paragon Flight’s dual authorization by FAR Parts 61 and 141 is the fact that we can accept financing options that require a Part 141 program. From student loans to scholarships, grants, and GI benefits, many options are available for these students. Additionally, for Part 61 programs, we can provide contact information for lenders who’ve provided our students loans in the past.
Become a commercial pilot at a flight school that can offer sunny skies and flight-friendly weather unlike the dreary no-go days of Everett, WA. Trust us when we say the trip to Paragon Flight is well worth it as you progress toward your dream of earning a living as a professional pilot.
