Paragon Flight is an FAA approved flight school and a Cessna Pilot Center located in beautiful Fort Myers, Florida. We are the premier flight school in Southwest Florida, providing excellent instructors, the most advanced aircraft available and the best training systems in the world. We specialize in making our clients feel comfortable and confident so they can have fun while learning to fly at any level. Ultimately, flying is about freedom and having fun!
We are only one of a handful of flight schools in the United States to be an approved Cessna Pilot Training Center. This is because Cessna is very selective to who can become a designated Cessna Pilot Center. Their schools are required to follow to strict standards to ensure the highest level of training and customer satisfaction.
Not all flight schools and instructors are created equal. We are proud to say that we’ve earned FAA Part 141 approval. The PART 141 approval is one of the most difficult certifications to obtain from the FAA as a flight school. We work hard to ensure our clients are receiving the very best and modern flight training in the world.
When you learn to fly from Paragon Flight, you are truly learning from the best. It’s not just that you’ll learn from the world’s best-trained instructors, or that you’ll train with innovative computer-based instruction. What really matters is that you will be learning to fly in the world’s greatest aircraft, Cessna’s forgiving and reliable, single-engine airplane, the Skyhawk 172.
With the Cessna Flight Training System, featuring our new Cessna Sport/Private Pilot Course, you’ll quickly become a knowledgeable, competent pilot. Our scenario-based interactive instruction programs work hand in hand with your actual flight experience – allowing you to prepare for your next training flight before you even take off. So you can learn at your own pace and you know your path to progress.
Another benefit of learning from Paragon Flight is training in dependable Cessna aircraft, featuring the highly advanced Garmin G1000® glass cockpits. The G1000® flight deck package simplifies all primary flight, engine and sensor data for intuitive, at-a-glance awareness which makes learning to fly easier than ever.
CPC students earn their wings about 30 percent faster than the national average. So you can spend less money and get more value from your certificate sooner.
