If you’re starting with little to no flying experience and want to earn your Commercial Pilot License (CPL), you need a training program that covers everything from your very first lesson through to commercial certification. In Georgia, Paragon Flight stands out as the premier choice for Zero-to-CPL training with our comprehensive, fast-paced, and career-focused Professional Pilot Program.

What Is Zero-to-CPL Training?

Zero-to-CPL is a comprehensive pilot training path designed for students who begin with no flight experience and want to progress all the way to a Commercial Pilot License. This includes earning your Private Pilot License (PPL), Instrument Rating, Multi-Engine Rating, and finally your CPL, often with additional certifications like Certified Flight Instructor (CFI).

Unlike piecemeal training, where students take breaks or jump between schools, zero-to-CPL programs provide a structured and continuous learning experience that helps you build confidence, skills, and credentials efficiently.

Paragon’s Professional Pilot Program (P3)

Our flagship Professional Pilot Program is an FAA Part 141-approved, full-time training curriculum designed to take students with no flight experience to commercially certified pilots in approximately 9 months. P3 students benefit from:

• Integrated Training – The program combines Private Pilot training, Instrument Rating, Commercial Single-Engine and Multi-Engine Licenses, and Certified Flight Instructor (CFI) certification all in one streamlined curriculum.
• Accelerated Progression – Most students complete their CPL and CFI certifications in under a year. This condensed timeline enables ambitious pilots to start their careers more quickly than in traditional programs.
• Modern Aircraft – Training is conducted on our fleet of modern single-engine and multi-engine aircraft, equipped with up-to-date avionics, providing students with hands-on experience in the technology used in commercial aviation.
• Experienced Instructors – Paragon’s flight instructors are active commercial pilots and industry professionals. Their expertise and one-on-one instruction ensure students receive top-quality training focused on practical aviation skills.
• Focused Career Preparation – Beyond flight training, we emphasize leadership, professionalism, and career readiness. Students benefit from tailored resume support, industry connections, and comprehensive guidance to confidently transition into their aviation careers.

We recognize that pilot training is a significant financial commitment. To make the journey more accessible, Paragon offers flexible financing options, including personal loans, student loans, and customized payment plans. Our dedicated advisors work closely with each student to develop manageable solutions that fit their individual needs.

Why Train in Georgia?

Paragon Flight’s LaGrange-Callaway Airport (LGC) campus is located just outside the busy Atlanta Class B airspace, giving students the chance to practice complex flying skills without the high-pressure environment of a major metropolitan airport, making it perfect for developing advanced proficiency. The airport features two well-maintained runways and multiple instrument approach options.

With more than 300 days of flyable weather each year, students enjoy regular opportunities to fly without the interruptions that weather-related delays can cause. This consistently favorable weather and carefully managed airspace make Paragon’s Georgia campus an outstanding location for accelerated commercial pilot training.
