Hello.....

Im interested in psychology (and starting my degree for it next year) and interested in aviation, well why else would I be on this site.

Do u happen to know any articles on fear of flying? Ive always found it wierd that some people are extreamly scared of flying while others will pay through there noses to fly. Feel free to email me with any more info you have on this topic, if you get a team set up id love to be part of it or an understudy.

Take care,

KBaB

I dont know your mail address!!!!Its not in your profile...


I hope to one day instruct.....If i can get a job instructing at my local flying school i will bring it up with the CFI!!
See if he will let me setup a fear of flying course......truth be told, i think you need a psychologist to be able to run a course like that.

Cheers

Most common cited reasosn for fear of flying include:

claustrophobia, vertigo, out of control situation for the subject, turbulence, crashes often result in death

other reasons might include:

the food, ugly hosties, they heard I had my PPL, Charlton Heston is sitting next to you - which means disaster is iminent <img src="wink.gif" border="0">

People aren´t afraid of flying, they´re afraid of crashing and burning surely?

On the contrary, some people are afraid of actually not being in control or the thought of the height involved in itself, which may be secondary to crashing.

Only know of the course run using BA aircraft and crews, though have no contact details at moment.
