Hello again,
It's really great to hear of so many pilots in a similar position to me and others with milder fears of heights.
I'll be going up on Monday, weather permitting, and I'll let you know how I get on. Incidentally, it is a PA28 I fly and I do find it better than the Citroen 2CV with wings (C150) that I trained in before.
It's a strange one - the jumping out of the door fear. I get that on boats and ships. I love looking over the side and have no problem with rough sea but I do sometimes have to check myself when I get an urge to jump overboard ! I suppose it's all connected to the fear of heights.
Thanks again you lot.
