Read on for more information. Now is the time to stop living in fear and start living your life the way you want to. Please take the time to answer a few questions: The Fear of Flying Survey.

What is the Fear of Flying – Is it Normal?!

The fear of flying is an incredibly widespread phobia, with up to one third of the population suffering to some degree – from mild anxiety, to severe panic attacks.

You are not alone, and are perfectly normal. It can be said, however, that you have an irrational fear.

I’m sure you are aware of all the statistics that show flying to be one of the safest forms of travel, right?

Statistics are great, but they are not going to help you until you understand WHY you are supposedly so safe cruising at 11km up in the air.

That’s why Flying Fear was created. We tell you WHY and HOW commercial air travel is safe. With inside information on airline procedures, regulations and much more, we provide you with the facts to back up the statistics.

Did You Know?

Between 1990-1999 706million passengers flew on UK registered aircraft with zero fatalities and just 6 serious injuries. This equates to a passenger serious injury rate of 1 in 118million.

Find out HOW so many passengers flew to their destinations safely by reading through our fear of flying articles.

How Do You Overcome Your Fear of Flying?

Firstly, you need to identify exactly WHAT you are scared of. Why do you have a fear? Are you scared during turbulence? Take-off? Landing? All of the above?

At what point do you start to feel the fear? When you get on-board? In the airport? Or, before you even book a flight?

Each individual case is different, but usually a fear of flying can be categorised under one of the following headings;

Fear of Turbulence, Lack of Control, Terrorism/Security, Mechanical Failure, Bad Weather, Previous Bad Experience.

Many fears stem from a fear of the unknown. The first step is always to research flying. Make sure you understand HOW aircraft fly, and slowly start to understand WHY flying is so safe in comparison to almost any other activity (including crossing the road).
