QUESTION
Hi Guys, I’m scared of flying, BUT I reckon I’m a bit different to most
‘scared of flying’ people. In that, I must have flown hundreds of
flights in my life, everywhere in the world.
I’ve travelled since I was
20 years old on business, and I’m now 55. I’ve been on jumbos, short
haul, little twin engine aircraft, all sorts. I’ve seen and been on
every type of flight….smooth, bit rough, very rough; missed approaches,
go-arounds, even on an emergency landing . But I just cannot get my fear
of flying from something I think is illogical, ‘stupid’ into a state
where I know nothing’s going to threaten my life whilst I’m up there! I
think my problem stems from the fact that I’m a bit of a control freak,
ie when I’m driving or whatever, and I need to know that the same people
flying me are as committed to ‘driving’ me as safely as I would
myself.
Several aspects cause me anguish during a flight. First is
turbulence; I’ve been through some very rough turbulence on aircraft
before, but I really don’t know what levels the aircraft can take before
becoming un-safe. -
