100,000 flights each day! (2014)


Air Transport Action Group (ATAG) released Aviation Benefits Beyond Borders, a detailed report on the aviation industry, in April 2014.
The report shows that there are 37.4 million flights scheduled in 2014! That is up 2.7% from 2013. And it means an average of 102,465 flights per day.

50 Years without Flying and then...

Keith,
I had not flown for nearly 50, yes 50 years, after a bad experience.
I bought your 4 Disc CD set some years ago and it completely cured my fear of flying.
I have flown nearly thirty times over the past 4 years including several times to Barra on a Twin Otter from Glasgow and several times to Rome, Tenerife etc.
I also have taken flying lessons , including a flight in a microlight.
No fear whatsoever thanks to your excellent CD.

Safety Briefing



Maybe it’s because I saw a very nasty accident when I was 20, over 50 years ago now.
Ever since then I have been almost obsessive about safety. Although I was happy to fly between trees in my Tiger Moth, happy to do low aerobatics over a girl’s house, I always considered the risks and took them into account.
Safety is no accident. Safety isn’t the result of just being careful, it’s the result of many many strands and threads of behaviour.
