Dear All,

Thank you for your replies. I think during the summer break (I'm at uni) I'll go to my local flying school, have a chat about it with an instructor then go flying in the conditions which I find problematic. If I get the same feeling I'll get some help. Worst thing is being on the ground not able to face it, and imagining situations in your head and trying to work out if you'll be scared or not! Crazy.

Any know if going to a pyschologist will go on any permanent med record? As I'm hoping to put in a military application, and I'm guessing that if they saw on my record that I went to get pyschological help for a fear induced by flying they wouldn't look massively favourably at my pilot application !!

Thanks once again,
Paperplanes89
