I honestly do believe that taking flying lessons helps. I think it can assist in many ways,
1) you get to see exactly what is going on and understand that certain things are normal , like the change in engine pitch during climbs, descents etc
2) it acclimatizes you to the movement of a small plane so that turbulence in a larger one doesn't seem so bad
3) you become addicted to flying small aircraft and so no longer have the money to spend on foreign holidays ....
.... problem solved
