Advice for Fear of Flying

The best advice for fear of flying is contained in the information below.

Have a good read and if you have overcome your fears and have your own advice for fear of flying why not drop us a line and tell us all about it!

Tip 1 - Understand Your Mind

No-one is born afraid to fly!
Fear of flying is a learned fear.

A short psychology lesson...

Classroom LessonSome advice for fear of flying would be to first understand how your brain works. In broad terms the brain is divided into 3 distinct areas.

The reptilian brain is our earliest brain it operates quietly in the background always assessing situations and people.

The reptilian brain looks at everything in a very basic way –
Can I eat this?
Will this eat me?
Can I reproduce with this?

We have no control over the reactions of our reptilian brain, but it has a lot of control over us. It is the reptilian brain that makes us jump back from the path of an oncoming 10 ton truck – we don’t have to think about how we feel about the truck and we don’t have to stand and assess the closing speed, we just jump.

3 Areas of the brain

It is the reptilian brain that stops us walking down dark alleyways at night. The reptilian brain is able to trigger automatic responses within the body – particularly the fear based fight or flight response – without any conscious input or thought.

The next area is the limbic brain – the seat of the emotions – and the third and final area is the cognitive brain – the logic powerhouse. The imagination can be a wonderful friend or self-sabotaging enemy. The sub-conscious mind has no way of differentiating between reality and imagination; it just accepts all inputs from every sense and files them for future use. Our minds have no way of differentiating between what we watch on the news and what we watch during the film that follows the news.

 

Tip 2 - Understand Fear

More advice for fear of flying would be to understand fear itself. Fear is the mechanism that keeps us safe. We do not want to do away with all fear – we want to retain the capability to react without thinking, when appropriate.

If this looks scary...

... It's because you don't feel in control. You probably don't know how your car engine works (maybe you do), but being in control of the pedals, the gears and the steering helps your mind ALOT!

For further advice for fear of flying take a closer look at what fear is from our Fear Fact File and why it develops into an anxiety disorder.

 

Tip 3 - Understand Re-programing

Advice for fear of flying, at a cognitive level, we can rationalize; we can look at statistics; we can read books; we can talk to pilots and we know that flying is safe. However, communication between the rational brain and the reptilian part of the brain, (that keeps us safe), is not good and it doesn’t matter what our logical mind knows, if our self-protection mechanism believes us to be in danger.

When fear is experienced, it is the reptilian brain that is triggered. Your cognitive brain can read as many safety statistics as you like – they will not affect the reptilian brain. It only knows how to keep you safe and, for whatever reason, it has determined that flying is not safe!

So good advice for fear of flying would be to re-program your mind and re-program the reptilian brain. It is important to get the message through to this part of the brain that flying is safe.

Recommended Program

Fear of Flying Help has teamed up with a company called "Change Thats Rights Now" (CTRN) and along with the practical, informative DVD, we can now offer an outstanding home study program to completely eliminate The Fear of Flying FOREVER!

 

Tip 4 - Understand Hypnosis

Further advice for fear of flying would be some kind of guided relaxation and imagery or even hypnosis is a good place to start.

In a state of relaxation it is possible to by-pass the cognitive and limbic brain and begin to communicate directly with the reptilian brain. Over time, the message it holds becomes changed and the fear of flying is replaced with a more positive reaction.

Tip 5 - Understand Your Health

Flying Health Risks

More good advice for fear of flying is to understand the health risks at the root of the fear of flying, experienced by many. As with all things in life, knowledge is the great vanquisher of fear and by learning more about the reality of the health risks you encounter when flying, you help to diminish your fear.

The popular press is full of stories, mostly overstated, about certain health risks. These are just a few of the health concerns expressed by aviophobics:

any of the concerns you may have.

 

Tip 6 - Understand the Aircraft

Aircraft Maintenance and Serviceability

Aircraft Maintenance & Serviceability

Understanding what you are flying in and how it is in the air, is more good advice for fear of flying. It's true that unless an airplane is maintained, it could pose a danger to the safety of its passengers and to everyone and everything else on board.

There have been airplane crashes that have been reported that were caused by poor aircraft maintenance. This is a sad thing because of passenger safety and the crew should come before the aircraft takes off.

Tip 7 - Understand Flight Noises

Click here for more information on airplane flight noises...

Also more great advice for fear of flying is to understand the noises you hear during flight. The noise from the airplane can come from many sources. They could come from the vibrations and the whirring sounds during the retraction of the landing gears, the slamming sounds from the loose articles in the galley caused by the movement of the modules during take off or the reduction of power after airborne to comply with the noise abatement procedures in certain airports.

The air-conditioning noise may change to cater for the cooling or heating needs. The Tick-tick-tick sound you may hear five minutes before landing comes from the operation of the landing.

All these noises are normal and are nothing to worry about. Any abnormal noise would be picked up by the Flight Attendants and they would in turn notify the Captain. If you sit near to the engines, the noise level is usually higher than elsewhere.

noises you hear during airplane flight

Tip 8 - Understand Statistics

Statistics play a very important part of piece -of-mind and advice for fear of flying. Statistically passengers are safer in an aircraft than they are in a car, but that does not prevent those who are frightened of flying from experiencing intense anxiety, nervousness and even panic attacks that cause palpitations, dizziness, nausea, hyperventilation and, in extreme cases, loss of consciousness, just at the thought of taking a flight.

Take at look at these statistics...

For some, it may help a little!

Tip 9 - Understand the Weather

Understand the weather

People experience fear of flying for many individual reasons. They may have experienced extreme turbulence or other adverse weather during a flight; it may have been a sensationalised media report that caused the fear.

Whilst disturbances in the weather are a very natural phenomena, they can feel very unnatural to passengers in an aircraft cabin at 36,000 feet.

When taking advice for fear of flying, you may have heard about clear air turbulence or CAT which occurs in clear air and cannot be picked up by weather radar, although pilots and forecasters can usually identify likely areas of CAT by inspecting weather charts. If you are going to be flying in or around the USA you can check yourself to see if you are likely to be flying in turbulence.
