Commercial Pilot Programs

Working as a pilot requires a commercial pilot license, and the sector has a wealth of roles – from airlines to cargo companies, private pilots, crop dusters, tourist planes, and more. Reaching the goal of securing a Commercial Pilot License opens up a world of occupational potential, but how do you get there?

Paragon Flight provides custom courses and accelerated programs like the P3 Professional Pilot Program, a full-time course focusing on quality training over quantity, professional development, and financial facilitation. Over 38 weeks, students earn a variety of credentials, including the following:

Private Pilot License (PPL) – 0-10 weeks
- The foundational phase of flight training focused on the fundamental principles of aviation and aircraft systems.
Instrument Flight Rating (IFR) – 11-18 weeks
- The phase focused on learning to fly in non-visual conditions using communication and navigation equipment.
Commercial Pilot License, Single-Engine and Multi-Engine (CSEL/CMEL) – 19-30 weeks
- The phase focused on professional pilot preparation includes mastery-level flight training and process training.
Certified Flight Instructor (CFI) – 31-38 weeks
