Top Commercial Pilot Schools
As a child, did you dream of taking flight as a pilot? Those dreams can be a reality. The occupation of a pilot continues to grow in demand, with many niche positions for every social, financial, and geographical preference. To fly a crop duster, private plane, or airline jet, you’ll need to begin with education. Paragon Flight is one of the top commercial pilot schools due to its location, education components, and history of success.
Paragon Flight offers a wide range of certification training, including commercial licenses for single-engine or multi-engine flights. Depending on your plans, you might also consider starting with single-engine and adding a multi-engine rating later.
As an FAA-authorized (FAR) Part 61 and Part 141 program, we can provide a rigidly structured, full-time classroom approach to flight training alongside a one-on-one, flexible, student-centered flight program. We encourage our students to schedule a meeting with our Head Flight Instructor to arrange a custom program that will work best for the individual.
What We Offer at Paragon Flight
Flight training requires planes. All of the aircraft at Paragon Flight qualify as Technically Advanced Aircraft, with Glass cockpit Technology. The models within our fleet include the Piper PA28 “Pilot,” the Cessna C172S Skyhawk, the Piper PA-44-180 Seminole, the Cessna T182T Skylane, the Cirrus SR20 G6, the Cirrus SR22 G5/G6, and the ALSIM AL172 Flight Simulator.
Perfect Location for Aviation Experiences
While the beauty of Southwest Florida is something to behold from the air, the real value of our location for aviators is the weather. We have flight-friendly conditions for over 350 days of the year! In addition to cooperative weather patterns, we are at a tower-controlled airport and near several practice airfields. When you come to Paragon Flight for training, you can be confident in the ability to track all of the required hours as quickly as possible.
Proven Skills and History
We’ve provided excellent customer service and flight training experiences for many years. In that time, we’ve been awarded multiple times for the quality of our efforts by the AOPA, or Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association.
A Commercial Pilot in the Making
A commercial flight training program will prepare pilots to fly safely when hauling cargo and passengers. This credential must be held by pilots who plan to accept compensation for their efforts.
The qualifications for becoming a commercial pilot require that the candidate be 18 years old and able to communicate in spoken and written English. This candidate must already be a licensed private pilot with a current 2nd class medical certificate.
The pilot will log 250 hours in the sky, 100 hours as PIC, 20 hours of dual flight time, and 10 hours of solo flight time during the program. At the end of the course, pilots must pass the written exam and the checkride with verbal and practical components.
If you’re considering all of the top commercial pilot schools, Paragon Flight will top them all. We offer personalized programs for each pilot’s situation, and it starts with a collaborative consultation with our Chief Flight Instructor.
