The website, Forum and on-line course of Flying
When I started the flyingwithoutfear.com website over thirteen years ago it was called scared of flying.com
We were the first website helping fearful flyers to post videos and we were the first to have extensive, free help. It ran into over 150 pages of information. We were so successful that most of what we did was copied*. Unfortunately for our competitors just para phrasing and reworking sentences doesn’t work. A statement of fact is a statement of fact but to help a fearful flyer it has to be in context, it shouldn’t be dumbed down and it should be free of mis interpretation.
Fear of flying courses help to overcome your fear of flying
Flyingwithoutfear.com and its associated websites has always maintained the principle of factually correct and unambiguous information to help fearful flyers. We strive to use language and descriptions that is consistent with those values and also explains aspects of aviation in a way that helps fearful flyers to overcome their fears.
The descriptions and eye witness accounts of the crash of the 1960′s fighter jet at a flying display are the opposite of what we try to do. It is inevitable that witnesses to an accident of any type are likely to be in a state of shock and their recall of events is going to be influenced by ignorance, emotion and the the views of other witnesses.

Trains, planes, the Great Barrier Reef and Woodstock
It was a bank holiday and we took the grandchildren on an old steam railway train. With my new f2.8 super dooper lens I rattled off dozens of pictures.
It was as I was taking this shot that it occurred to me that there is a lot in common with trains planes and a fear of flying. It was said that in the early days of the train sceptics worried that travelling at such speeds (faster than a horse could run) would upset the brain and cause the eyes to bleed. We can laugh now, but without evidence to the contrary why should anyone not have believed the critics?

Emergencies
What you call emergencies are not what I'd call emergencies
The most important thing to
know about flying is that it is amazingly routine. In a normal career a
pilot won't face more than a few minor technical hiccups. Very few
experience engine problems and even fewer face 'Emergencies'. However what you describe as an emergency, would now be described by the crew as a non-normal procedure.
Non normals, not emergencies
Fearful flyers imagine that flying a plane is difficult, even under normal conditions ...read more about this on our on-line fear of flying course at Premium
From the start of a pilot's career the
idea of flying a plane according to the laid down procedures is
emphasised, it is, after all the safest way to fly a plane. The
checklists and procedures are the result of all the operators'
experiences on that plane, collected and promulgated by the
manufacturer.
The most testing time for a pilot is when multiple failures occur, these ... read more on fear of flying premium. The question that I am most frequently asked on this subject is: Can a plane take off if an engine stops?

Cabin Crew
Cabin crew are on board to help you, don't watch their faces for signs!
All cabin crew have to
meet certain educational standards and have to have a better than
working knowledge of English, which is the language of aviation. Airlines,
however will also set their own standards regarding fitness,
educational and language requirements. The cabin crew are legally
responsible to the Captain for the safety of the cabin and the
passengers.
Highly trained members of the crew
Passengers have to obey the legal
instructions of the crew who act under the legal authority of the
Captain. Fortunately the days of seeing them as Trolley Dollies and
airborne waitresses are long gone.
Remember:
- The cabin crew are responsible for the safety of the passengers
- They are licensed crew members
- They are highly trained and checked frequently
