I flew for the first time last month. I’m 42. The lady next to me talked me through the entire process of landing at ATL. She explained everything. I don’t remember her name but I remember her kindness and patience. Good wishes to you, lady that went on a cruise out of Tampa. You will not be forgotten.
@@TWT-PLAYZSir only 2 days back I came back to Silchar with my family and parents from Calcutta by Indigo flight and the Aircraft was Airbus A 320.Before taking off From Calcutta Netaji Subhas Basu Airport the captain of the Aircraft Mr Sangket Parikh addressed us saying "I am Captain Sangket Parikh and I welcome you all passengers on this flight,in a few minutes we will be taking off but after taking off we will be expecting turbulence due to bad weather so I request you all passengers to continue remain seated on your seats with your seat belts fastened calm composed and relaxed".After some minutes of take off the Aircraft while flying through dense clouds started to shake and tremble most of we passangers were dead silent but however by the Grace of Almighty God we reached Silchar and made a safe landing.But what surprised me Sir the most the Captain of the Aircraft while landing the Air Bus A320 followed the formula of Go round approach 🙄.Sir my question to you is Go round approach the safest for landing the large Aircraft like Airbus? If you can answer my question I will be really grateful to you Sir 🙏🙏
I've took the plane 8 times in my life, and i'm always afraid to die, my heart goes 200 bpm during the whole flight. I'm truly in love with aviation. What a paradox. Every time I force myself to take a plane I just think about one thing, i'm increasing the chances of dying in a crash plane. i love traveling and I hate myself because of this. Every time I see vids like your with perfect flights and landing I have tears in my eyes because I would like to travel more. Thanks for this video and the others it makes me dream a lot.
Hey, why dont you go to a flight seminar for fearful flying, a lot of big airlines offer theses, where you learn everything, and fly with pilots and pszchologists, who talk to you.
I’m in the same boat, I’m an aviation nut but have the worst fear of flying. It all started when the flight I was on had to do a go around without warning and this scared the shit out of me smh. Ever since then I’ve never been the same.
I think the problem is that most people can't tell if it's turbulence or if there are any technical problems. I think it would help a lot if pilots would report directly from the cockpit during moderate or severe turbulence and say, "hey guys don't panic everything is ok". In my opinion, pilots oder cabin crew should communicate even more to calm people down, because in the back of the cabin people are screaming and praying, saying goodbye to their loved ones and already see themselves with one foot in the grave, while the pilots are probably just afraid they might spill their coffee and continue to leaf through their newspaper 😉
I need my own private flight attendant telling me, "You're okay, don't worry, it's fine, stop making the sign of the cross - you're scaring the other passengers", every time we hit even the slightest bump xD
Thanks for sharing this as it's so helpful. I am glad that I overcame my fear of flying from last couple of years 😊 and I was so relaxed during whole flight that I ectuly was enjoying my journey. Even through turbulence I was calm. I am really proud of myself for overcoming my fear of not being on ground.
i havent flown in 5 years and i have been suffering. from severe fear and anxiety about flying. I have a flight booked soon and i am trying to overcome this fear for the flight. If you have any other advice on how you managed to stay calm, please share
The CORE problem with fear of flying, is DISTRUST. If we ourselves are controlling a situation, we know that we are safe, and in the event of anything going wrong, we know we will take the necessary action to avert disaster. However, if someone else is in control, (such as a pilot) whom we don't know personally, we are left with blind trust. Imagine, hypothetically, if your best friend, someone whom you know very well, was a pilot, I'm sure that you would feel a lot more comfortable in his or her plane. What I have written here, is from past personal experience and my own personal research into my past fear of flying.
I feel absolute terror from wheels-up to cruising altitude...on the outbound trip. It's never bad at all on the way home. I just surrender to it and it goes away after we level off. I think most of it comes from the feeling that the plane isn't going fast enough to not stall. I wouldn't want to get rid of it. it's the little bit of pain, that makes the pleasure of being on holiday even better. When I walk out of the airport into the blazing sun, I feel even better
It’s a mix of social anxiety, fear of heights, and all the noise and movement that freak me out. On two occasions I noped my way back through the gate and canceled the trip. I have gotten better after learning more about planes and treating the anxiety, which was affecting other parts of my life. I’m writing this comment while on a plane right now.
Hi Mr. Pilot, I enjoyed your video, but I think the reason I fear flying wasn’t really listed. You know how some people just love roller coasters and others don’t? In all my life, I’ve never heard of anyone dying from riding a roller coaster, but I’m scared of them. Why? Because I hate the sensations of falling, being whipped around corners, or even going upside down. These rides are perfectly safe, but that’s the thing, they’re rides. I hate rides. They’re very uncomfortable to me and make me panic because to me, feeling those sensations in my stomach is the absolute worst. I went down a water slide with my family in a big inner tube, screamed the entire time and got off shaking. My dad was laughing at my hands the way they trembled. Some of these sensations, while not as bad as typical rides or roller coasters, do occur on planes. Feelings like falling, twisting in the air, bouncing, I cannot find a single video about these topics and how to correct my problems with flight. Saying, “oh, it’s safe, you’ll be fine.” Is true, I know it’s true regarding rides as well, but what do I do when I’m on a ride and there’s nothing I can do to make myself feel better about it and stop regretting that I ever did it because I’m so uncomfortable, anxious, and hating every minute of it?
That’s exactly my point, I know planes are safe that turbulence will do nothing to the airplane but the feeling of falling that sensation is what I am afraid of.
@@leandrobaez8828well helping to relax the body I think would help. These sensations feel worse when already tense. Taking medicine for that can help. Some people take Xanax and they say that they don't care for such sensations no more. Of course pilots and flight crew cannot do that, they cannot be medicated for relaxation while working
I feel you. I was inside an elevator which fell down. I was completely panicked and every time I fly, when the plane drops, I go back to that feeling. I know a lot of aviation and why it's safe, but my lymbic system takes over whenever that happens.
Hi guys, I recently took a flight to New York and actually did okay. It was three hours long, so not super strenuous, but when we got to New York, we couldn’t land because it was too windy. What happened next was we flew in circles for close to twenty minutes, twisting right and left and bouncing up and down exactly like I was dreading. But…I didn’t panic, and I was even okay, not quite calm, but not overexcited either. I’ll tell you why. Several months before my flight, I started doing hypnosis sessions on RUclips. There are several really good ones specific to flight that I listened to. You’ll find my grateful comments under each of their videos! I also found Sara Macel and started doing her hypnosis RUclips videos, her New Year course, and a somatic exercise course from the workout witch that I purchased to help me release trauma. Once I started rewiring my thoughts and helping my body release tension, I found my coping threshold expanding more and more. I wouldn’t say I’m brave enough to endure long flights or go overseas yet, but the fact that I went through the worst turbulence I’ve been in to date and wasn’t traumatized, that is huge for me. I thought I’d share in case it could help anyone else, since it’s clear I’m not the only one who hates the sensations that come with flying. Also, I discovered a trick that helped me a lot when we were flying and bouncing in circles. I picked up my drink cup that still had ginger ale in it and just let my arm “float” without trying to control where it went. By doing this, I could see visually what the plane was doing as if I was on the ground. If my arm veered left and dipped, I knew that’s what I was going to be doing too, like being in a car and seeing the bump before you hit it. If you float your arm correctly, the liquid will stay level and won’t spill and your arm will go with the motion. Try it in a car sometime, because it works there too. Anyway, it oddly calmed me down and helped me get through it without feeling the sensations I would have in the past. It sounds weird, but for me, it works!!
The phobia discussion was actually interesting. Nosophobia is probably relevant for me in the COVID era but that's not my main concern. My main concerns are: 1) ear popping feeling; I'm very sensitive, and 2) breathability onboard, which I think on other vehicles, especially trains, has to do with air circulation sucking air out of the vehicle, making it hard to breathe.
Honestly I feel what if ONE mechanic forgets something important? Just ONE thing overlooked can be catastrophic. I trust technology, pilots training and expertise and professionalism but what about the mechanic from a State that’s not so busy. I’m sure NYC mechanics are on top of it all with many failsafes. But small town USA staff may be lax. Scary to trust people I do not know their skills on something so very very important. In the end I know the pilot doesn’t want issues either so I give it ALL up to the pilot that he/she has checked and double checked all ! So thank you to our pilots !!
Its not just the pilots, its everyone associated that you must trust, starting from the designers who may have made a mistake, the maintenance people who may have made a mistake on your flight or plane, the baggage crew, the folks doing weight and balance, and lastly, you have to trust all the millions or parts that make up a plane and have have faith that none of them will fail at the wrong time. Thats a lot of faith. In car, if I drive carefully, dont speed be watchful of others my chance getting into an accident is small, and even if I do since I cant control everything, my chance of dying in that accident is very very small because I have driven carefully and slowly, and the lower the impact speed, the less effect it will have. Combine that with active and passive safety systems todays cars have and Im in a pretty safe place.
@Chris Fragiskatos Photography The same can be said for vehicles, though. You are trusting that your brake housing is made correctly and lines have pressure, your exhaust is venting properly (and not into your cabin), your tires won't come apart at normal speed, you dont have a gas leak that will cause a fire, etc. I once had a tire come apart at about 70 mph on I-95 in Florida. Also, regardless of how safe you are, a vehicle can fly off an overpass or from across a median and still kill you. My mom was following all the rules and was going to turn into our driveway on a back county road. A drunk driver slammed into her, going 70+mph. She survived but was badly injured after flying into a ditch. If we were in the car, we would've died because the back was smashed in through front. Driving simply has more of an illusion of control, objectively. You "feel" more in control, but you really aren't when it comes to death/dying. You have a lot less control than you think in most situations, to be honest. As hard as it is, it's just something we have to accept to overcome fear and truly live. You have to let go of the things you have no control of. We will all die one day, and there's nothing any of us can do to stop it, no matter how safe you do or do not feel. Doesn't make it less scary, but you can't change when and how you're going to go. The only difference is that fear will keep you from experiencing things that you otherwise would.I hope it helps somewhat. I have terrible fear of flying sometimes and just had a scary flight myself. Accepting the unknown is the hardest part of overcoming anxiety of any kind.
I watched so many videos to see if any of those could provide me some sort of comfort. And this by far has been the best video I've watched on tips for a nervous flyer. This video made me feel so much better. I think I am quite ready for my next flight :D Thank You
I tell myself all the statistics, I research how planes work, I do everything I can. And yet, every time we hit even a little turbulence in-flight, my heart races and I start making deals with God. Despite that, the two things that have helped me are: 1) hearing from a flight attendant that she secretly enjoys the turbulence; that it makes her feel like she's on a roller coaster. I just picture the stewardesses as hiding their excitement that we're dipping up and down, and know that if they aren't worried, I shouldn't be either. And also, 2) when I saw a pilot say that when he flies cargo, they just fly right through, turbulence be damned, and don't raise or lower altitude like they do for passengers. When we do hit that turbulence, I just remind myself the pilots would probably buckle up and zoom straight through it if I wasn't there. Remembering either thing doesn't erase the stress or fear that I feel, but it'll help a little bit.
Fearful flyer here. It's by FAR my least favorite way to travel. Unable to fly unless I'm loaded up on full strength Dramamine. I know people always try to reassure me with odds/statistics/etc. but here's problem. I think about all the poor souls who tragically were killed in airplane crashes/accidents/etc., and they too had the same odds as everyone else. I'm sure most of them boarded those doomed flights saying "flying is the safest form of transportation and the odds are in my favor. Nothing bad will happen". Not knowing that when the cabin door closed, it was the end of their lives. THAT'S why I have a fear of flying. Because whenever I fly, I feel the odds are 50/50 because, in my mind, I'm either going to get my destination alive & safe, or I won't at all. That's why I hate flying. And it sucks because there are so many places I want to visit, but they all require airline travel.
Hi there! Just a question... Do you think about the car crashes (that happen way more often) before taking a drive somewhere. People taking their cars, going somewhere. Suddenly boom! Car crash! Everyone is dead... and that happens way more often. That is our life, my friend. You need to control your fears because the risks are everywhere. There will be never 100% safety in any king of human activity. We are not perfect... I wish you all the best my friend! Stay awesome as you are and you'll be safe!
@@PilotBlogDenys thanks for writing back, truly appreciated! I know, car crashes happen every day and, unfortunately, people lose their lives daily. But the difference is that in a car, at least I pull over and wait for safety. In a plane, there is no room for error at 35,000 feet. The entire flight needs to be flawless or else tragedy will occur. Which is why I've always told myself that the odds when flying are 50/50 and I don't like it. I understand that I'll have to fly again eventually whether it be for work or in my personal life. The only thing I can do is sedate myself with a lot of Dramamine. I'll truly never feel safe flying.
@@Sanguine_Addiction "In a plane, there is no room for error at 35,000 feet" - yes and no. For example, stall at FL350 is easy to recover because until recovery, plane will lose about 100-200 feet of altitude. Most problems are better when you are very high. For example - losing all engines is no problem, when You are that high above ground - lift is not generated by engines (in most passenger planes), but by wings, so plane can land - but when You lose all engine(s) power shortly after takeoff, then You cant gain altitude. Without engines every fixed wing plane is still flying (like a glider - plane without engine mounted at all) but very slowly Yo lose altitude (nose little down to keep airspeed). Today one essential risk is fire onboard. Everything else is nothing, mostly because of high level of redundancy.
I agree. You have just convinced me to book a train ticket home. I too hate flying. I travelled from London to Sicily 35 hours now I will be getting train back. It’s unfortunate that I can’t handle flying
@@klevakeys Apologies my friend. It wasn't my intention to get you scared into never flying again. Trust me, this fear has ruined a good portion of my life because I've missed out on seeing so much of the world. It's funny you mention Sicily. I'm 1st generation born in the U.S. and my parents immigrated here from Sicily in the early 1970s. I have many family members that still live in Sicily and are eager to meet me, but I haven't made the trip yet due to my flying fear. I know I'll have to travel again eventually, whether it be for work or in my personal life. Also my wife wants to start taking holidays again and it's not fair to her if we don't travel. I tried looking into fear of flying therapy but nothing has worked so far. I downloaded the "Am I Going Down" app and it uses algorithms & statistics to determine probability of a crash. I know most likely I'll never enjoy flying in airplanes. I'm just going to have to load up on my Dramamine before each flight and hope I take enough to stay passed out. I wish the train system in the U.S. was like Europe or in Japan, but here it's a joke. VERY slow and very outdated. Safe travels to Sicily!
You did a wonderful job on this video. Explaining the physiology and the responses of the brain. And what you can do to reduce your anxiety, both physical and mental. It was reassuring.
I’m going to Hawaii soon. First trip in 16 years. I’m terrified, but I’m doing it. I’m going to ask my doctor for a medication though. I’m convinced planes are safe. It’s me and my panic I don’t trust. 😅
@@mikkiismyname you’re welcome. I actually canceled my trip. I’m too anxious. I feel nothing but relief. Never flying again. It isn’t worth the anxiety to me. 😜
@@Just_me_1974 I wish that I could cancel mine! My son and two young grandkids are clear across the US. I haven't seen them in years. I feel a lot of pressure to make this trip and I do want to see them. You did what was good for you,. Flying is a risk along with the stress of airports. If I get through this, I don't ever want to do it again.
Thank you for this video I'm flying from Michigan to Hawaii in a week from now & this will be my first time flying I was soooo nervous & scared but the more I watch videos like this with the pilots explaining everything makes me feel so much more at ease thank you 🫶🏽
@@simofreestyle1675 bro i have my return flight back Home in two days, and No fear nor anxiety. I kinda feel like Im actually comfortable with flying. If ur scared and have noise cancelling headphones i really recomend Them they calmed me down so Much.
Hi captain, i have a question how do pilots control when there plane is in stall. As in pia8303 where the plane couldn't stable itself and crashed in the densely populated area the recent one and one more question how do pilots know they are going in the correct direction to reach their destination. I know it sounds stupid but i have curiosity to know this. Because the mh370 which lost over indian ocean and till now no proper evidence is published. Thanks, captain for this video i have overcame my 60%of my fear but these two are the biggest fear as well as ditching in water is also a fear but not that much.
Couldn't have made a more relieving video for me! Thanks I really want to travel eventually when it's possible but plane turbulence has always been a big fear of mine when I do, I never understood it until now and now that I know it's something that planes are made to be prepared in case of bigger amounts of it I feel comfy that if I travel on a good day i'll probably be fine. Insider pilot knowledge question, Do you think that maintenance on old planes is done enough or is it sketchy to fly those?
Things have changed these days with Covid experiment, DEI hiring unqualified people and lack of good work ethics which is why we’re having more problems! FAA used to have high strict standards like many other agencies! Let’s rise our standards back! I highly respect our military expert pilots and pray to only get such pilots when flying! Thank you for a wonderful video!
Amazing video! Thank you for this! I know how safe planes are I just can’t get it in my head. I’m working on it and this video helped TONS! Thank you 😊
About to take a flight from Chicago to Manila 😞 I’m dying and I don’t want to take this flight but i have to, if I don’t board on that plane now i will never ever board a plane again, this video helped me a lot to release some of my fear and stress.
Remember these planes can glide for quite awhile with no power, flight plans always are routed with emergency landing areas in mind, once you're above 10,000 feet and you hear that audible "ding" in the cabin the riskiest portion of your flight is over.
Denis, first of all thank you for all your content you made on RUclips. I discovered your channel searching for the coverage of the war in Ukraine. I was born in Poland and I care a lot about what's happening in your country. But going back to this video on "fear of flying". It was one of the best I have seen on this subject. I am myself commercial pilot, former air-medical helicopter pilot. Used to love my career and flying in general, but over the course of my career I had a lot close calls, mechanical and weather related. I also lost number of very close friends in different aviation accidents. To make a long story short, I developed PTSD than manifested in fear of heights, especially on SPIFR flights. Hated going up high to higher altitudes, sometimes I would get light headed and slightly dizzy. In the airlines, there are two pilots in the cockpit so you guys share the workload and can relief stress by talking to each other. It's a different story for us EMS pilots. It's just me and my medical crew. Anyways, I ended up quitting my pilot job, as I didn't know how to cope with all this stress and anxiety. There are really not very many resources for pilots in my situation. I do miss my job though, people I work with and what I did as an ems pilot. Would love to see a video from a fellow pilot addressing this issue. I know I am not the only one. I knew quite many pilots who quit flying due to similar issues. Would love to see you making video on this subject for fellow aviators. Greetings from Palm Springs, CA. Slava Ukraini!
Hello, Pilot blog! I am not exactly afraid of flying, but I am worried about some things like downdrafts, windshears or even rotor turbulence and also worried about upcoming stall and spin exercises that I need to do. Is it normal? I just did my second flight on a c172, because I get started with my ppl so is it normal to be worried and nervous?
Wind Shear/DownDraft knowledge has evolved Tremendously in recent decades. Pilots are now trained how to deal with it. And most airports now have Wind Shear detection systems.
3 weeks ago i left a comment that i have to take a long flight ( Chicago - Minneapolis - Seoul - Manila ) over 20 hrs in plane 🤯 Of course i was getting very anxious each day more and more before the departure. So it comes here it is January 6 we are over at a friends house for Orthodox Christmas dinner and i have to fly January 7 early morning at 6:00 am 😧 So what i did i had a few drinks and I thought it will make the things better but it didn’t work 😞 My wife was convincing until 3:00 am to get dressed and leave for the airport but i was so scared, she was about to leave and then somehow i remembered the video and also i said to myself if you don’t go now you will never ever fly again! So that was it we left super late but got there on time, everything went smooth 😀 Going there was a nightmare in terms of flying and changing flights but coming back was super easy from ( Manila - Seoul - Chicago ) and yes highly recommend Korean Air in case u travel that part of the world. So what i want to say is this, if i was able to do it then you can do it too, bottle of water helps a lot, companion as well, and some distractions, so don’t be afraid you can make it! And also thank you so much for the video.
My fear is running out of something to read or do. So I guess i have a fear of boredom on the flight 😂 flying FLL to SEA Friday and thats 6 hours of time to fill. Keep up the good work pilots!
Thank you for calming me down I’ve taken so many plane flights in my life and have never been scared except for today lol. For some reason I am so scared to fly tomorrow no idea why. Thank you for this video. I’ll comment back on this video to tell y’all my experience and that it was great haha. See ya August 7th at around 3 pm 🤙
Well simulator is totally different thing, you can just step out if you want to. Its connected to the ground. You cant do it on plane. We are just helpless there, can pray we dont hit birds, pilot wont commit suicide, thunderstorm wont damage the plane etc. I wish the planes wont be so crowded and tiny.
Things have changed these days with Covid experiment, DEI hiring unqualified people and lack of good work ethics which is why we’re having more problems! FAA used to have high strict standards like many other agencies!
Thanks for the video.... it's perfect. I have palpitation, normal breathing gets difficult sometimes and ears pop a lot. Can you help me, overcome these?
Hello dear master. I found that alcohol make my flights more anxious and panic in the begging is okay, but after one hour the anxiety is really high and some phobia not claustrophobia but simmilar, you can't to go away from the "terrible situation" since May 10th 2019 I don't drink alcohol and now will be my first Flight after my last bad experience. I am excited and light nervous, my therapist has prescribed be 0.5 klonopin just in need, before flight. I don't know if I test to do clear exposure flight on 2nd May this year or to take the med prescribed from my therapist... I am 50/50, my dream is to be free of fear and have freedom to be in all over the world for a few hours.... ❤
My fear of flying, but not only flying, I can feel it if I´m in a bus and the roads are icy and the driver thinks hes Schuhmacher. It started from the tsunami in Thailand 2004, where I developed a fear of I guess coincidence and nature.
I have my first flight from UK to Newark soon. I not been on a plane since I was 12 I 44 now and so scared. But doin a short flight first to see how I cope. Plus I takin my 3 Yr old ti the USA so even more panicked lol hope I get through it
In the ancient mystery cults the candidate was lead to believe that they were genuinely going to die. Everytime I step off a plane in good health and all in working order I know how the ancient initiate felt and I'm so glad to be alive, it's part of the reason I love flying!
I am terrified because Pilots really don’t have control as they say because they have said a plane will drop and the have not control of that! So how will I know they can always regain control, plus human error, like mechanics, and falling for minutes from sky and if something happens terrifies me car wrecks happen in seconds, I don’t want to feel that terror of going down, hate flying
We end up flying with 737, but not Max. But in June 2023, I flew from Belfast Northern Ireland to Krakow in Poland with 737 max. I was absolutely terrified the fear I felt was unbelievable. that’s gonna sound crazy, but was to the point that I actually cried, and I have to say flight went very smoothly.
I wouldn't say I am afraid of flying but then again my fear isn't the plane crashing... I have flied in a helicopter without fear... My fear is that turbulence and if the plane experiences technical failures
No worries. Airplanes are built to withstand even very severe turbulence. I will probably make a video about it 😉. It is normal to afraid. Our natural reaction. And turbulence is the common factor for passengers to be afraid. For me it is more like riding through the bad road. Pilots always try to change that "road" (flight level) to provide better comfort for passengers if it is possible. Thanks for your comment 👍
Today we have TCAS. TCAS 2 more exactly. If both of two pilots and ATC omit danger from other plane, then TCAS will warn them about. Best thing is: TCAS in those planes are communicating each other and makes decision like this: plane A goes up, plane B goes down. When its over, then will sound to pilots: "clear of conflict". So much more chances in collision are in airport ground - on ground TCAS is always off.
I have a confession to make; as much as I love Planes, I'm petrified of flying 🛫...I've had 5 dreams over the past 5 years of me being in a plane crash and I'm always trying to Save the Plane 🩷✝️...we were always in a steep nose up vertical climb, almost stalling......I don't know if we actually Crashed or not 🤔...I always wake up before 😇...I feel like God is giving me a Warning of some kind ⚠️✝️🤔...any advice Captain Denys? ... BTW, you and I make our 7's the same, with a line through it 😁😉... Great Minds think alike 😉

I think the problem is that most people can't tell if it's turbulence or if there are any technical problems. I think it would help a lot if pilots would report directly from the cockpit during moderate or severe turbulence and say, "hey guys don't panic everything is ok". In my opinion, pilots oder cabin crew should communicate even more to calm people down, because in the back of the cabin people are screaming and praying, saying goodbye to their loved ones and already see themselves with one foot in the grave, while the pilots are probably just afraid they might spill their coffee and continue to leaf through their newspaper 😉
👏👏👏👏👏
I need my own private flight attendant telling me, "You're okay, don't worry, it's fine, stop making the sign of the cross - you're scaring the other passengers", every time we hit even the slightest bump xD
nah dude, turbulence happens so often, would be a total waste of the pilots time to say that every time it happens
Right
You're soooooooo right!!!!!! That would be so reassuring 🥹
Thanks for sharing this as it's so helpful. I am glad that I overcame my fear of flying from last couple of years 😊 and I was so relaxed during whole flight that I ectuly was enjoying my journey. Even through turbulence I was calm. I am really proud of myself for overcoming my fear of not being on ground.
Glad it was helpful!
Amazing. This is my goal too.
Good for you!!
i havent flown in 5 years and i have been suffering. from severe fear and anxiety about flying. I have a flight booked soon and i am trying to overcome this fear for the flight. If you have any other advice on how you managed to stay calm, please share
Wow! Thats not easy at all! Congrats to you. How did you overcome
To all pilots that do videos like this thank you! Knowledge is power and that powers helps us over come the fear. Thank you!
The CORE problem with fear of flying, is DISTRUST. If we ourselves are controlling a situation, we know that we are safe, and in the event of anything going wrong, we know we will take the necessary action to avert disaster. However, if someone else is in control, (such as a pilot) whom we don't know personally, we are left with blind trust. Imagine, hypothetically, if your best friend, someone whom you know very well, was a pilot, I'm sure that you would feel a lot more comfortable in his or her plane. What I have written here, is from past personal experience and my own personal research into my past fear of flying.

I feel absolute terror from wheels-up to cruising altitude...on the outbound trip. It's never bad at all on the way home. I just surrender to it and it goes away after we level off. I think most of it comes from the feeling that the plane isn't going fast enough to not stall. I wouldn't want to get rid of it. it's the little bit of pain, that makes the pleasure of being on holiday even better. When I walk out of the airport into the blazing sun, I feel even better
You are 100% correct. It’s agoraphobia for me. I never knew. I’m 53 and have never flown.
It’s a mix of social anxiety, fear of heights, and all the noise and movement that freak me out. On two occasions I noped my way back through the gate and canceled the trip. I have gotten better after learning more about planes and treating the anxiety, which was affecting other parts of my life. I’m writing this comment while on a plane right now.
Hi Mr. Pilot, I enjoyed your video, but I think the reason I fear flying wasn’t really listed. You know how some people just love roller coasters and others don’t? In all my life, I’ve never heard of anyone dying from riding a roller coaster, but I’m scared of them. Why? Because I hate the sensations of falling, being whipped around corners, or even going upside down. These rides are perfectly safe, but that’s the thing, they’re rides. I hate rides. They’re very uncomfortable to me and make me panic because to me, feeling those sensations in my stomach is the absolute worst. I went down a water slide with my family in a big inner tube, screamed the entire time and got off shaking. My dad was laughing at my hands the way they trembled. Some of these sensations, while not as bad as typical rides or roller coasters, do occur on planes. Feelings like falling, twisting in the air, bouncing, I cannot find a single video about these topics and how to correct my problems with flight. Saying, “oh, it’s safe, you’ll be fine.” Is true, I know it’s true regarding rides as well, but what do I do when I’m on a ride and there’s nothing I can do to make myself feel better about it and stop regretting that I ever did it because I’m so uncomfortable, anxious, and hating every minute of it?
That’s exactly my point, I know planes are safe that turbulence will do nothing to the airplane but the feeling of falling that sensation is what I am afraid of.
And this says it all. This is actually my fear that I cannot explain too. lol
@@leandrobaez8828well helping to relax the body I think would help. These sensations feel worse when already tense. Taking medicine for that can help. Some people take Xanax and they say that they don't care for such sensations no more. Of course pilots and flight crew cannot do that, they cannot be medicated for relaxation while working
I feel you. I was inside an elevator which fell down. I was completely panicked and every time I fly, when the plane drops, I go back to that feeling. I know a lot of aviation and why it's safe, but my lymbic system takes over whenever that happens.
Hi guys, I recently took a flight to New York and actually did okay. It was three hours long, so not super strenuous, but when we got to New York, we couldn’t land because it was too windy. What happened next was we flew in circles for close to twenty minutes, twisting right and left and bouncing up and down exactly like I was dreading. But…I didn’t panic, and I was even okay, not quite calm, but not overexcited either. I’ll tell you why. Several months before my flight, I started doing hypnosis sessions on RUclips. There are several really good ones specific to flight that I listened to. You’ll find my grateful comments under each of their videos! I also found Sara Macel and started doing her hypnosis RUclips videos, her New Year course, and a somatic exercise course from the workout witch that I purchased to help me release trauma. Once I started rewiring my thoughts and helping my body release tension, I found my coping threshold expanding more and more. I wouldn’t say I’m brave enough to endure long flights or go overseas yet, but the fact that I went through the worst turbulence I’ve been in to date and wasn’t traumatized, that is huge for me. I thought I’d share in case it could help anyone else, since it’s clear I’m not the only one who hates the sensations that come with flying. Also, I discovered a trick that helped me a lot when we were flying and bouncing in circles. I picked up my drink cup that still had ginger ale in it and just let my arm “float” without trying to control where it went. By doing this, I could see visually what the plane was doing as if I was on the ground. If my arm veered left and dipped, I knew that’s what I was going to be doing too, like being in a car and seeing the bump before you hit it. If you float your arm correctly, the liquid will stay level and won’t spill and your arm will go with the motion. Try it in a car sometime, because it works there too. Anyway, it oddly calmed me down and helped me get through it without feeling the sensations I would have in the past. It sounds weird, but for me, it works!!
I’m terrified. I’ve flown over 100 times, but I’m still terrified.
If your still alive it means its safe;)
@@carldondi7294 Not necessarily
The phobia discussion was actually interesting. Nosophobia is probably relevant for me in the COVID era but that's not my main concern. My main concerns are: 1) ear popping feeling; I'm very sensitive, and 2) breathability onboard, which I think on other vehicles, especially trains, has to do with air circulation sucking air out of the vehicle, making it hard to breathe.
Honestly I feel what if ONE mechanic forgets something important? Just ONE thing overlooked can be catastrophic. I trust technology, pilots training and expertise and professionalism but what about the mechanic from a State that’s not so busy. I’m sure NYC mechanics are on top of it all with many failsafes. But small town USA staff may be lax. Scary to trust people I do not know their skills on something so very very important. In the end I know the pilot doesn’t want issues either so I give it ALL up to the pilot that he/she has checked and double checked all ! So thank you to our pilots !!
Thank you for this video. Trusting pilots is the main issue for me.
Glad it was helpful!
Its not just the pilots, its everyone associated that you must trust, starting from the designers who may have made a mistake, the maintenance people who may have made a mistake on your flight or plane, the baggage crew, the folks doing weight and balance, and lastly, you have to trust all the millions or parts that make up a plane and have have faith that none of them will fail at the wrong time. Thats a lot of faith. In car, if I drive carefully, dont speed be watchful of others my chance getting into an accident is small, and even if I do since I cant control everything, my chance of dying in that accident is very very small because I have driven carefully and slowly, and the lower the impact speed, the less effect it will have. Combine that with active and passive safety systems todays cars have and Im in a pretty safe place.
@Chris Fragiskatos Photography The same can be said for vehicles, though. You are trusting that your brake housing is made correctly and lines have pressure, your exhaust is venting properly (and not into your cabin), your tires won't come apart at normal speed, you dont have a gas leak that will cause a fire, etc. I once had a tire come apart at about 70 mph on I-95 in Florida. Also, regardless of how safe you are, a vehicle can fly off an overpass or from across a median and still kill you. My mom was following all the rules and was going to turn into our driveway on a back county road. A drunk driver slammed into her, going 70+mph. She survived but was badly injured after flying into a ditch. If we were in the car, we would've died because the back was smashed in through front. Driving simply has more of an illusion of control, objectively. You "feel" more in control, but you really aren't when it comes to death/dying. You have a lot less control than you think in most situations, to be honest. As hard as it is, it's just something we have to accept to overcome fear and truly live. You have to let go of the things you have no control of. We will all die one day, and there's nothing any of us can do to stop it, no matter how safe you do or do not feel. Doesn't make it less scary, but you can't change when and how you're going to go. The only difference is that fear will keep you from experiencing things that you otherwise would.I hope it helps somewhat. I have terrible fear of flying sometimes and just had a scary flight myself. Accepting the unknown is the hardest part of overcoming anxiety of any kind.
I watched so many videos to see if any of those could provide me some sort of comfort. And this by far has been the best video I've watched on tips for a nervous flyer. This video made me feel so much better. I think I am quite ready for my next flight :D Thank You
I tell myself all the statistics, I research how planes work, I do everything I can. And yet, every time we hit even a little turbulence in-flight, my heart races and I start making deals with God. Despite that, the two things that have helped me are: 1) hearing from a flight attendant that she secretly enjoys the turbulence; that it makes her feel like she's on a roller coaster. I just picture the stewardesses as hiding their excitement that we're dipping up and down, and know that if they aren't worried, I shouldn't be either. And also, 2) when I saw a pilot say that when he flies cargo, they just fly right through, turbulence be damned, and don't raise or lower altitude like they do for passengers. When we do hit that turbulence, I just remind myself the pilots would probably buckle up and zoom straight through it if I wasn't there.
Remembering either thing doesn't erase the stress or fear that I feel, but it'll help a little bit.
You’re a real hero!
My biggest fear is mechanical failure. Woops, the rudder broke.
Fearful flyer here. It's by FAR my least favorite way to travel. Unable to fly unless I'm loaded up on full strength Dramamine. I know people always try to reassure me with odds/statistics/etc. but here's problem. I think about all the poor souls who tragically were killed in airplane crashes/accidents/etc., and they too had the same odds as everyone else. I'm sure most of them boarded those doomed flights saying "flying is the safest form of transportation and the odds are in my favor. Nothing bad will happen". Not knowing that when the cabin door closed, it was the end of their lives.
THAT'S why I have a fear of flying. Because whenever I fly, I feel the odds are 50/50 because, in my mind, I'm either going to get my destination alive & safe, or I won't at all. That's why I hate flying. And it sucks because there are so many places I want to visit, but they all require airline travel.
Hi there! Just a question... Do you think about the car crashes (that happen way more often) before taking a drive somewhere. People taking their cars, going somewhere. Suddenly boom! Car crash! Everyone is dead... and that happens way more often. That is our life, my friend. You need to control your fears because the risks are everywhere. There will be never 100% safety in any king of human activity. We are not perfect... I wish you all the best my friend! Stay awesome as you are and you'll be safe!
@@PilotBlogDenys thanks for writing back, truly appreciated! I know, car crashes happen every day and, unfortunately, people lose their lives daily. But the difference is that in a car, at least I pull over and wait for safety. In a plane, there is no room for error at 35,000 feet. The entire flight needs to be flawless or else tragedy will occur. Which is why I've always told myself that the odds when flying are 50/50 and I don't like it. I understand that I'll have to fly again eventually whether it be for work or in my personal life. The only thing I can do is sedate myself with a lot of Dramamine. I'll truly never feel safe flying.
@@Sanguine_Addiction "In a plane, there is no room for error at 35,000 feet" - yes and no. For example, stall at FL350 is easy to recover because until recovery, plane will lose about 100-200 feet of altitude. Most problems are better when you are very high. For example - losing all engines is no problem, when You are that high above ground - lift is not generated by engines (in most passenger planes), but by wings, so plane can land - but when You lose all engine(s) power shortly after takeoff, then You cant gain altitude. Without engines every fixed wing plane is still flying (like a glider - plane without engine mounted at all) but very slowly Yo lose altitude (nose little down to keep airspeed). Today one essential risk is fire onboard. Everything else is nothing, mostly because of high level of redundancy.
I agree. You have just convinced me to book a train ticket home. I too hate flying. I travelled from London to Sicily 35 hours now I will be getting train back. It’s unfortunate that I can’t handle flying
@@klevakeys Apologies my friend. It wasn't my intention to get you scared into never flying again. Trust me, this fear has ruined a good portion of my life because I've missed out on seeing so much of the world. It's funny you mention Sicily. I'm 1st generation born in the U.S. and my parents immigrated here from Sicily in the early 1970s. I have many family members that still live in Sicily and are eager to meet me, but I haven't made the trip yet due to my flying fear. I know I'll have to travel again eventually, whether it be for work or in my personal life. Also my wife wants to start taking holidays again and it's not fair to her if we don't travel. I tried looking into fear of flying therapy but nothing has worked so far. I downloaded the "Am I Going Down" app and it uses algorithms & statistics to determine probability of a crash. I know most likely I'll never enjoy flying in airplanes. I'm just going to have to load up on my Dramamine before each flight and hope I take enough to stay passed out. I wish the train system in the U.S. was like Europe or in Japan, but here it's a joke. VERY slow and very outdated. Safe travels to Sicily!
You did a wonderful job on this video. Explaining the physiology and the responses of the brain.
And what you can do to reduce your anxiety, both physical and mental. It was reassuring.
I’m not afraid to fly, but I like watching these videos 😊
Very good video, helpful. I am so afraid of flying, and I guess in my case, it is about the fear of dying, fear of a crush
Me too I know I will have to die one day but I ask God not to let me die in a plane crash
I’m going to Hawaii soon. First trip in 16 years. I’m terrified, but I’m doing it. I’m going to ask my doctor for a medication though. I’m convinced planes are safe. It’s me and my panic I don’t trust. 😅
Hey, you 're not alone! I'm 61 and taking my 1st flight next week. Good luck to you. travel safely and enjoy your trip🎉
@@mikkiismynamethank you! Enjoy your trip as well!
@@Just_me_1974 Thank you! 🙏
@@mikkiismyname you’re welcome. I actually canceled my trip. I’m too anxious. I feel nothing but relief. Never flying again. It isn’t worth the anxiety to me. 😜
@@Just_me_1974 I wish that I could cancel mine! My son and two young grandkids are clear across the US. I haven't seen them in years. I feel a lot of pressure to make this trip and I do want to see them. You did what was good for you,. Flying is a risk along with the stress of airports. If I get through this, I don't ever want to do it again.
Thank you for this video I'm flying from Michigan to Hawaii in a week from now & this will be my first time flying I was soooo nervous & scared but the more I watch videos like this with the pilots explaining everything makes me feel so much more at ease thank you 🫶🏽
Did you have a good time!
He relaxed me a lot-i’ll be back after my two flights and vacation to say how it went
🤟✈
Did you make it?
@@simofreestyle1675 bro i have my return flight back Home in two days, and No fear nor anxiety. I kinda feel like Im actually comfortable with flying. If ur scared and have noise cancelling headphones i really recomend Them they calmed me down so Much.
@@gokaycoskun1980 good work man
I am terrified of Turbulence, never know when I will have a good flight. there is always anxiety
Hi captain, i have a question how do pilots control when there plane is in stall. As in pia8303 where the plane couldn't stable itself and crashed in the densely populated area the recent one and one more question how do pilots know they are going in the correct direction to reach their destination. I know it sounds stupid but i have curiosity to know this. Because the mh370 which lost over indian ocean and till now no proper evidence is published. Thanks, captain for this video i have overcame my 60%of my fear but these two are the biggest fear as well as ditching in water is also a fear but not that much.
Couldn't have made a more relieving video for me! Thanks I really want to travel eventually when it's possible but plane turbulence has always been a big fear of mine when I do, I never understood it until now and now that I know it's something that planes are made to be prepared in case of bigger amounts of it I feel comfy that if I travel on a good day i'll probably be fine. Insider pilot knowledge question, Do you think that maintenance on old planes is done enough or is it sketchy to fly those?
Thank you SO much! I enjoyed listening to you! It helps a lot!!! Good luck in the future))
On takeoff it felt like i was falling, really that was the worst part was how my body felt. It got better on the other flights
Things have changed these days with Covid experiment, DEI hiring unqualified people and lack of good work ethics which is why we’re having more problems!
FAA used to have high strict standards like many other agencies!
Let’s rise our standards back!
I highly respect our military expert pilots and pray to only get such pilots when flying!
Thank you for a wonderful video!
Amazing video! Thank you for this! I know how safe planes are I just can’t get it in my head. I’m working on it and this video helped TONS! Thank you 😊
That part
This guy really knows what he’s talking about.
Yes, and I say that you are awesome! And Rock ✈🤟
My fear is not flying, my fear is crashing in a plane because you are 200% going to die if plane crashes.
About to take a flight from Chicago to Manila 😞 I’m dying and I don’t want to take this flight but i have to, if I don’t board on that plane now i will never ever board a plane again, this video helped me a lot to release some of my fear and stress.
Are you still alive?
@@embracinglogic1744 yes thank god, and i have another comment about my experience 😀
@@arthurshelby206 where is this new comment? lol
@@neelamramchandani9683 ?
Remember these planes can glide for quite awhile with no power, flight plans always are routed with emergency landing areas in mind, once you're above 10,000 feet and you hear that audible "ding" in the cabin the riskiest portion of your flight is over.
Yeah, but the problem is those that fail immediately, such as the one that happened this week, probably due to icing conditions.
Excellent video, ❤🎉 Very helpful, it is greatly 👍 appreciated, Many thanks 😊 to you
Denis, first of all thank you for all your content you made on RUclips. I discovered your channel searching for the coverage of the war in Ukraine. I was born in Poland and I care a lot about what's happening in your country.
But going back to this video on "fear of flying". It was one of the best I have seen on this subject. I am myself commercial pilot, former air-medical helicopter pilot. Used to love my career and flying in general, but over the course of my career I had a lot close calls, mechanical and weather related. I also lost number of very close friends in different aviation accidents. To make a long story short, I developed PTSD than manifested in fear of heights, especially on SPIFR flights. Hated going up high to higher altitudes, sometimes I would get light headed and slightly dizzy. In the airlines, there are two pilots in the cockpit so you guys share the workload and can relief stress by talking to each other. It's a different story for us EMS pilots. It's just me and my medical crew. Anyways, I ended up quitting my pilot job, as I didn't know how to cope with all this stress and anxiety. There are really not very many resources for pilots in my situation. I do miss my job though, people I work with and what I did as an ems pilot. Would love to see a video from a fellow pilot addressing this issue. I know I am not the only one. I knew quite many pilots who quit flying due to similar issues. Would love to see you making video on this subject for fellow aviators. Greetings from Palm Springs, CA. Slava Ukraini!
Hello, Pilot blog! I am not exactly afraid of flying, but I am worried about some things like downdrafts, windshears or even rotor turbulence and also worried about upcoming stall and spin exercises that I need to do. Is it normal? I just did my second flight on a c172, because I get started with my ppl so is it normal to be worried and nervous?
Wind Shear/DownDraft knowledge has evolved Tremendously in recent decades. Pilots are now trained how to deal with it. And most airports now have Wind Shear detection systems.
Great video!!! Thank you 🙏
3 weeks ago i left a comment that i have to take a long flight ( Chicago - Minneapolis - Seoul - Manila ) over 20 hrs in plane 🤯
Of course i was getting very anxious each day more and more before the departure.
So it comes here it is January 6 we are over at a friends house for Orthodox Christmas dinner and i have to fly January 7 early morning at 6:00 am 😧
So what i did i had a few drinks and I thought it will make the things better but it didn’t work 😞
My wife was convincing until 3:00 am to get dressed and leave for the airport but i was so scared, she was about to leave and then somehow i remembered the video and also i said to myself if you don’t go now you will never ever fly again! So that was it we left super late but got there on time, everything went smooth 😀
Going there was a nightmare in terms of flying and changing flights but coming back was super easy from ( Manila - Seoul - Chicago ) and yes highly recommend Korean Air in case u travel that part of the world.
So what i want to say is this, if i was able to do it then you can do it too, bottle of water helps a lot, companion as well, and some distractions, so don’t be afraid you can make it!
And also thank you so much for the video.
My fear is running out of something to read or do. So I guess i have a fear of boredom on the flight 😂 flying FLL to SEA Friday and thats 6 hours of time to fill. Keep up the good work pilots!
Thank you sir.Yes I can do it.Thank you so much
Thank you for calming me down I’ve taken so many plane flights in my life and have never been scared except for today lol. For some reason I am so scared to fly tomorrow no idea why. Thank you for this video. I’ll comment back on this video to tell y’all my experience and that it was great haha. See ya August 7th at around 3 pm 🤙
Where u flying to on Aug 7 ? I am here cos I ll be flying to on Aug 7 at 4PM ist
How was it? Lol
What happened? 😅😮😂
We never heard from you. Hope you had a good flight ❤
I think now you convinced me
Thank you pilot
Nice explanation
👍
Thanks man this was really helpful in me identifying why I've been afraid to try
Well simulator is totally different thing, you can just step out if you want to. Its connected to the ground. You cant do it on plane. We are just helpless there, can pray we dont hit birds, pilot wont commit suicide, thunderstorm wont damage the plane etc. I wish the planes wont be so crowded and tiny.
Dont need to be worry. Every plane has come back to earth eventually.
I don't mind flying but I have my first flight over the Atlantic coming up and it's got me a little nervous.. mostly because I can't swim 😂
Thank you for explaining so clearly
Things have changed these days with Covid experiment, DEI hiring unqualified people and lack of good work ethics which is why we’re having more problems!

Really good and amazing video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for the video.... it's perfect. I have palpitation, normal breathing gets difficult sometimes and ears pop a lot. Can you help me, overcome these?
Thank you Sir
Hello dear master. I found that alcohol make my flights more anxious and panic in the begging is okay, but after one hour the anxiety is really high and some phobia not claustrophobia but simmilar, you can't to go away from the "terrible situation" since May 10th 2019 I don't drink alcohol and now will be my first Flight after my last bad experience. I am excited and light nervous, my therapist has prescribed be 0.5 klonopin just in need, before flight. I don't know if I test to do clear exposure flight on 2nd May this year or to take the med prescribed from my therapist... I am 50/50, my dream is to be free of fear and have freedom to be in all over the world for a few hours.... ❤
Thank you. This made so much sense. A so much appreciated video!!! Brilliant!
Moving forward, I’m just gonna pray and trust God and go to sleep lol I’m still scared as hell 😂😂. Traveling to Africa next month
My fear of flying, but not only flying, I can feel it if I´m in a bus and the roads are icy and the driver thinks hes Schuhmacher. It started from the tsunami in Thailand 2004, where I developed a fear of I guess coincidence and nature.
I have my first flight from UK to Newark soon. I not been on a plane since I was 12 I 44 now and so scared. But doin a short flight first to see how I cope. Plus I takin my 3 Yr old ti the USA so even more panicked lol hope I get through it
Did you make it?:)
In the ancient mystery cults the candidate was lead to believe that they were genuinely going to die. Everytime I step off a plane in good health and all in working order I know how the ancient initiate felt and I'm so glad to be alive, it's part of the reason I love flying!
I've lost three friends in planes crashes and none in car crashes...therefore I will continue to avoid flying.
I am terrified because Pilots really don’t have control as they say because they have said a plane will drop and the have not control of that! So how will I know they can always regain control, plus human error, like mechanics, and falling for minutes from sky and if something happens terrifies me car wrecks happen in seconds, I don’t want to feel that terror of going down, hate flying
you are amazing thank u
I am not really afraid of flying. It's the plane take off and landing that makes me anxious.
Fear from.crash as simple as that because it can happen , and turbulence gives impression of crash possibility.
On first of August 2021 I’m flying with a new 737 max from Ryanair I’m completely terrified what do I do
How was that flight?
We end up flying with 737, but not Max. But in June 2023, I flew from Belfast Northern Ireland to Krakow in Poland with 737 max. I was absolutely terrified the fear I felt was unbelievable. that’s gonna sound crazy, but was to the point that I actually cried, and I have to say flight went very smoothly.
Id rather pilot give announcement ‘ enjoy your flight’ or dont be scared its normal (turbulence)
He believes evolution? Huh! Waaaa. I didnt expect that, UKBTT
I wouldn't say I am afraid of flying but then again my fear isn't the plane crashing... I have flied in a helicopter without fear... My fear is that turbulence and if the plane experiences technical failures
Don't drink alcohol??? its the only thing that works! Wrong advice. Drink 4 beers! Fear is gone, buy behave, especially towards the crew.
You’re advised not to drink because it dehydrates you and because it messes with your cognitive function to actually realise how safe flying is.
I'll take your advice
Thank you
I’m only afraid of the turbulence 😓😓😓
No worries. Airplanes are built to withstand even very severe turbulence. I will probably make a video about it 😉. It is normal to afraid. Our natural reaction. And turbulence is the common factor for passengers to be afraid. For me it is more like riding through the bad road. Pilots always try to change that "road" (flight level) to provide better comfort for passengers if it is possible. Thanks for your comment 👍
@@PilotBlogDenys Wow that alone comforts me greatly thanks :)
I am scare of flying, oxygen masks came down in 1997 it was terrifying nothing has ever cured it
my pockets fear flying 💸
Nice effort, but this won't really help. CBT and sedation could be possible solutions.
If you HAVE a fear of flying - add Have too the title
The more I fly the more nervous I get
👍👍👍
Молодец!
I just don't like to fly I don't want to fly only if I have to and there is no other way
I'm so scared of plane crash
It is normal to be scared of that...
How many plane crash in the world?
I’m only afraid to collision whit the other plane
Today we have TCAS. TCAS 2 more exactly. If both of two pilots and ATC omit danger from other plane, then TCAS will warn them about. Best thing is: TCAS in those planes are communicating each other and makes decision like this: plane A goes up, plane B goes down. When its over, then will sound to pilots: "clear of conflict". So much more chances in collision are in airport ground - on ground TCAS is always off.
You may be a great pilot, but you can’t control the technical/mechanical side of flying
I have a confession to make; as much as I love Planes, I'm petrified of flying 🛫...I've had 5 dreams over the past 5 years of me being in a plane crash and I'm always trying to Save the Plane 🩷✝️...we were always in a steep nose up vertical climb, almost stalling......I don't know if we actually Crashed or not 🤔...I always wake up before 😇...I feel like God is giving me a Warning of some kind ⚠️✝️🤔...any advice Captain Denys? ... BTW, you and I make our 7's the same, with a line through it 😁😉... Great Minds think alike 😉
Face your fears
You have lovely eyes id love to fly with you. 😂 ❤
Comfortable flying lol, no thanks, am happy on the ground
I have a flight to Africa i two days omgggg
I get a prescription for xanax .. works like a charm.. shuts down the adreneline
Airplanes are meant to fly, humans arent. Thanks to the airplane it has the ability to fly
I'm not scared now
Wow! That is great!
If you going on a trip by plane, please do "NOT" watch ..AIR CRASH INVESTIGATIONS...I did unfortunately just before I flew to Poland..
I think people are scare of hights not of fling,you guys get everything wrong,so its hights not flying,and wot ever you say abaut flying wont make difference,people are scare of hights,
Things have changed these days with Covid experiment, DEI hiring unqualified people and lack of good work ethics which is why we’re having more problems!
FAA used to have high strict standards like many other agencies!
Let’s rise our standards back!
I highly respect our military expert pilots and pray to only get such pilots when flying!
Thank you for a wonderful video!
