Cost of Getting a Pilot License in Florida
The cost of getting a pilot license in Florida requires an investment of time and financial resources, but you don’t have to let either stand in the way of your aspirations. Paragon Flight works with student schedules and offers a hand in finding various appropriate financing. Whether you want to dip your toe in with a Discovery Flight or dive into a career path with the P3 Program, we welcome you!
Florida is a remarkable place to learn to fly. Pilots flock to this region because the weather rarely limits flight time, and job availability is high. The flight instructor applicant pool’s depth works toward our students’ benefit. We provide Certified Flight Instructors (CFIs) with varied backgrounds and specialties. We understand the issues that can exist when choosing an instructor. If you find that the personalities between the instructor we assign and yourself clash, let us know. We’ll provide you with a new instructor.
The view from the sky is enough reason to choose Florida for your flight training. The coastal natural wonders, the Everglades, and the area attractions are remarkable.
Paragon Flight is in a position of privilege. We have three terrific locations and FAA authorizations under both FAR Part 141 and Part 61. Choose where you study and how you study.
Our primary location is Page Field in Fort Myers, FL, and our two satellite locations are Punta Gorda Airport (PGD) in Punta Gorda, FL, and LaGrange-Callaway Airport (LGC) in LaGrange, GA. Choose any of our locations if you want to learn one-on-one, on your schedule, in an accelerated fashion, or in a traditional classroom-based, full-time scenario.
Book a Discovery Flight First
If you’re not 100% convinced that a pilot license needs to be in your future, take the time to see what training will be like. A Discovery Flight allows prospective students to participate in a short lesson, a facility tour, and a flight with a Certified Flight Instructor. Not only will you get to take the helm of the aircraft at some point during the flight, but it will also count as the initial hour of flight time you’ll need to accumulate credentials. Afterward, we can discuss a bespoke program – just for you – that will consider your time, finances, and goals. This plan will be your map of your aviation future. Remember, the difference between a dream and a goal is planning and a timeline.
Book the P3 Program
The P3 – Professional Pilot Program – is also available. This program is ideal if you’re ambitious, driven, and fully convinced that you want to work as a pilot. You’ll need to have full-time availability and a strong work ethic because this intense program pushes you to earn all of the following credentials in 38 weeks, saving you time and money:
- Private Pilot License (PPL)
- Instrument Flight Rating (IFR)
- Commercial Single-Engine License (CSEL)
- Commercial Multi-Engine License (CMEL)
- Certified Flight Instructor (CFI).
