I created Flying Fear (this website) for YOU – the fearful flyer – a year ago with one main goal, to help as many of you overcome your debilitating fear as possible. Whether it’s email support, or the articles on the site, I hope I’ve contributed the best I can.

As regular readers will already know, I am a Flight Attendant and NOT a psychologist. In fact, I have zero training in counselling, or any other form of self help. I just wanted to use my expertise in flying to help out where possible.

BUT, the fear of flying can be a complicated phobia which sometimes requires more expertise than I can possibly offer. It’s an irrational fear that can ruin family, social, and work life. Of course, I don’t really need to tell you this…..you know it already.

For more severe aviaphobics, I often recommend various fear of flying courses. In this article I’m going to share with you my top 3 recommended online fear of flying courses. All the courses below are available instantly online, and can be downloaded directly to your computer for your convenience. So, let us begin by counting down from 3 to 1 (1 being my top recommendation); Click to See The Top 3 Online Fear of Flying Courses

I’m always on the lookout for top new Fear of Flying help products, and recently renowned selp-help author – and former fearful flyer – Rich Presta released his TakeOff Today Program.

The problem with recommending products to you, is that I do not have a fear of flying – so I can only make an educated guess at how useful they could be. Obviously, I do not simply recommend anything to you. If you are going to spend your money, I want it to be worth it.

So, rather than recommend The TakeOff Today Program, I want one of you to review it for me. A review from someone who actually HAS a fear of flying will be much more useful than my thoughts, right?

My idea is as follows; One of you will WIN The TakeOff Today Program, but the winner must write a review for me to share with others on this site. Deal? Doesn’t matter if you are not a natural writer, I just want your thoughts on the product, and whether it helped you, or not. I will provide a more specific ‘brief’ to the winner when chosen.

How To Win

All you have to do to be in with a chance of winning is join my newsletter. To do that, simply fill in your name and email address in the box that you will find at the top right hand side of this page (titled ‘Get Free Gifts’) and follow instructions.

Yep, that’s it. That is all you need to do to be in with a chance for me to buy The TakeOff Today Program for you. It’s worth $67 (£40 approx), but you can get it free.

Prize draw will be made on 21st December (subject to change), and the winner will be notifed by email. If this idea works, then I may well do the same for other products, including the highly recommended SOAR Fear of Flying Course.

If you are already signed up to receive the fear of flying newsletter, you do not need to do anything. You will automatically be included in the draw.

Extreme Fear of Flying Treatment? Maybe Not…

Flying lessons have long been suggested as a cure for your fear of flying, but how about being sent up in the air in a light aircraft for some aerobatc manouevres? Maybe not the best cure, but would certainly be ‘facing your fear head on’!
Watch this video, and be thankful that commercial pilots don’t attempt [...]

Video: Go Around (Missed Approach)

A go-around (sometimes called a missed approach) is a perfectly normal procedure. At the time of writing, I have experienced four go-arounds in approx 3,000 flights – so although it is a normal procedure, it’s also relatively rare. But, you may experience one on your next flight, or maybe you’ve already done so and didn’t [...]

Flying in Strong Winds

As the UK is currently experiencing the worst storm of the year so far, with winds gusting at 75-90mph I felt it necessary to add a quick (and unplanned) article on the subject of flying in strong winds.
As with any bad weather there are strict procedures, and regulations that must be adhered to to ensure [...]

The New Flying Fear Website

I‘ve spent the last 6 hours updating the site, and I’m hoping you’ll agree that it is an improvement. I decided last night that the site was hard to read, and starting to run slowly. So, I’ve focused the new design on improving in both these areas.
A new larger, clearer – and ultimately easier to [...]

Fear of Flying: An Email About Turbulence

I receive many emails from readers regarding the fear of flying. Many of them follow the same theme though, and this one that I received yesterday is relatively typical. I thought it would be helpful to post the email and my response here for all to see. Obviously names are left out.

Video: Autoland in Fog

Earlier this year I wrote an article on the Fear of Flying in Fog, and more specifically, how an aircraft can land itself using the latest technology. Of course the pilots are still monitoring all systems, and the aircraft must be rated to complete such a landing. Also, all autopilot systems must be in working [...]
