Friend of mine has long term fear of flying. Does anyone in the Melbourne area know of organisations or individual specialists who run Fear of Flying Courses and the costs involved? Also what is the success rate of those who have attended?
See if He/She would be interested in a Trial Instructional Flight. It might sound crazy, but it did the trick for me , Seeing what happens to an aircraft when control inputs are manipulated can go along way to easing that fear of the unknown.

I have also heard the Qantas course is quite good, and another website I came across when I had a fear was the Ask Captain Lim website. There was alot of irrelevant stuff on there, but also some fairly relevant things as well. I also remember a good thread floating around on here that I remember reading but cannot for the life of me find it now.
