Fear of going solo
I have been flying helicopters for over 5 years as a hobby.I have PPL H over 4 years and hold a r44 rating. My fear is going solo when I’mflying with a passenger or instructor I’m fine but while going solo I have abig fear of the heights and space I’m in, it only lasts around 20 min andleaves.
My big hate is when I take off and the helicopter climbs outreaching 1000-1500 ft. I start a feel frozen and a little panic (what am I doingup here feeling) I worry about things going wrong etc.
I love flying but that feeling at the start I hate as theground disappears
I have 160 hours done and fly 2 hours per month mainly with aninstructor. I love to have the balls to fly solo and enjoy it. Any ideas onthis would be a massive help
