Accelerated Training Options

What Makes Paragon Flight Different From Other Pilot Training Schools?

Our flagship program is the FAA Part 141 Professional Pilot Program (P3), designed to take you from your first flight to certification as a Commercial Multi-Engine Pilot in under 10 months.

This structured program follows a strict FAA-approved syllabus with regular assessments, ensuring consistent progress while saving you time and money compared to more flexible but lengthier Part 61 options.

Modern Aircraft and Simulators

Training on industry-standard Technically Advanced Aircraft (TAA) equipped with Garmin G1000 glass cockpit avionics, Paragon students get hands-on experience with the same technology used in commercial aviation.

FAA-certified full-motion simulators enhance your learning by simulating complex procedures and emergency scenarios using the renowned Jeppesen curriculum, all in a safe, controlled environment.

Personalized Instruction from Aviation Experts

Our Certified Flight Instructors come from diverse backgrounds, including military, airline, and corporate aviation, bringing vast industry experience and knowledge to every lesson. We maintain low student-to-instructor ratios to deliver personalized coaching that suits your individual learning style, enabling you to build skills more quickly and with greater confidence.

Ideal Training Environments

Paragon operates campuses in Fort Myers and Punta Gorda, Florida, and LaGrange, Georgia, all of which were chosen for their excellent weather and diverse airspace. With over 300 flyable days annually, our locations help you avoid weather-related delays and maximize your time in the air.

Flexible Financing and Support

Recognizing the financial challenges of flight training, Paragon offers a variety of funding options to make your education accessible. These include partnerships with Sallie Mae and We Florida Financial’s We Fly program, as well as access to military GI Bill® benefits through Liberty University. We also assist with scholarships, grants, and flexible loan programs to help ease the financial burden.

Additionally, our team can help you explore local housing options, whether you’re looking for short-term accommodations or long-term student housing. From financial guidance to relocation assistance, Paragon supports you every step of the way.
