Flight Training Lessons

Flight training must incorporate effective knowledge-based and practical lessons like those available at Paragon Flight. We have three locations where student pilots are able to find a stellar combination of factors required for effective, superior flight training for every circumstance.

FAA Authorizations

Flight Training Lessons The FAA governs flight school operations under Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) Parts 61 and 141. Since 2006, we have worked diligently to earn the trust and loyalty of our students by mastering the processes necessary. The instructors, aircraft, curriculum, and environment we have set in place are ideal for flight training, and being authorized under Parts 61 and 141 lets us curate flight training programs to meet the needs of each student. Part-time or full-time course loads, flexible or rigid scheduling, and classroom or one-on-one lessons are all available here at Paragon Flight.

We want to train the best, so we work to be the best, everyday. These efforts have earned recognition by the AOPA, or Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association, many years for the quality of our flight education.
