I am glad this is an an ominous ; I have a couple of tricks/comments for when you get an attack of fear. Firstly I think it happens to a lot of pilots low(more) or high time(less), and usually when there is no great reason for it, and it happens at odd times. They won't admit it though. Only a problem if its all the time. The human condition is such that when we really should be fearful, when something really goes bad, we actually don't get scared (maybe after yes), otherwise we would never have evolved,( hunting bears with spears etc). I actually don't like it flying around at 6,000 feet, or with only 200 ft of room between clouds above and fog below, or when a wind gust is so hard on one side its like god slapping me in the air. NOW the weird bit; So at that point if fear really sets in then I think hey it just killed me, I'm dead, but I died flying a helicopter how cool is that, the whole world gets to die in real !!!!!ty ways but I've just been flying. Ok so I'm dead, it can't hurt me now. So I can't be hurt may as well keep flying now. Weird I know but works for me, I don't do this often maybe once or twice but might be a help.
