Fear of Heights
Hello All
Just wanting some advice and/or hints.
I have been flying for nearly 10 years and have over a few thousand hours, however within the last couple of years I haven't been enjoying my flying, because somehow I have gained a fer for heights
Sounds silly, but nearly all of my flying has been low level ie: ag and fire bombing though when I get to ferry back to base and have to climb to over 1000' then I really fear heights and tense up and my heart goes into my mouth when I get hit by a wind gust or turbelence - but as soon as I get below 1000' then I feel comfortable again.
When I was learning to fly all those years ago, it wouldn't bother me going to 3000', but now I start to freak if a job comes up that I have to go up to great heights for a photo shoot etc etc.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated as this is greatly affecting my career decisions
Cheers
BT
