Commercial Pilot School Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Paragon Flight, out of Fort Myers, FL, is a pilot school that appeals to the needs of every aspiring pilot who hopes to work in commercial endeavors. Our programs fulfill every element of aviation instruction to produce safe and ready pilots. The Professional Pilot Program (P3) that we provide allows candidates to meet their goals in a greatly shortened period of time with lowered expense.
A premiere aviation institution, Paragon Flight operates out of Page Field, the center of air travel in Southwest Florida. As such, we can provide several airfields for practice, including a tower-controlled runway. The weather here is also ideal for flight instruction with 350+ days of the year providing perfect weather conditions for takeoff, landing, and the in-between.
With a fantastic environment for flight training, Paragon Flight is able to set the table for area student-pilots to practice and learn from a varied group of professionals.
Students we train are able to participate in a personalized program that meets their needs regarding scheduling and curriculum or an extremely structured program based upon a prescribed syllabus and timeline. This flexibility comes from the dual authorizations by the FAA under Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) Parts 61 and 141.
Altogether, we combine the ideal methods and materials for teaching, environment for training, fleet of training aircraft, and Certified Flight Instructors (CFIs) to promote the success of our student-pilots.
