Accelerated Pilot Training in Florida

Florida offers several benefits for student-pilots, including the weather, a talented pool of flight instructors, and varied degrees of congestion in airspaces. The weather in Florida is great for flight training; over 350 days of the year are ideal for takeoff and landing here at Paragon Flight. Our students experience a few delays due to poor conditions.

The area also boasts several of the best flight schools, including Paragon Flight, a dual authorized Part 61 and Part 141 flight school. We can meet all students’ needs with the authorization to operate under both Parts. We offer full-time programs with a strict curriculum and part-time programs customized to the student’s schedule and learning style.

The airspaces in Florida are diverse. Student-pilots can learn in busy, heavily congested airspaces with tower controls and rural, uncontrolled airspaces. This diversity of conditions allows students to practice in real-life scenarios.
