Fear of flying course venue.

Hi Everyone.

This week I've been cleaning and preparing the cabin and flight deck of the plane I shall be using for my fear of flying courses.

While I was busily cleaning the instruments and controls in the cockpit it suddenly struck me how advanced the safety features on a modern aircraft are.

The countless instruments in the old generation aircraft have now been replaced by half a dozen computer screens with all the information needed to both fly, manage and navigate the aircraft. As I cleaned the grime from one of the control panels I noticed at least eight switches and their indicators that now are fully integrated into the aircraft systems....all now controlled automatically. The pressurisation system that once would have caused your ears to feel funny and that would have needed the pilot to adjust and monitor through out the flight is now fully automatic.

The dials gauges and switches that were once scattered all around the cockpit are now all presented and operated from just a few buttons all within reach of the pilots.

And this aircraft was twenty years ahead of the first airliner I ever flew.

What's the point of this blog? Just a sudden realisation of how far technology has brought us and how much safer aircraft are from the previous generation.

Amazing what thoughts come from using modern kitchen cleaners and a few rags while having fun cleaning an old aeroplane.

I hope to see you on one of the fear of flying courses soon.

Hi

We added a new feature to the website today. If you go to the home page up in the top right panel you will see a search box, powered by Google.

Like any other search engine just type in a word and it will find every reference to that word that is listed on the site. Try turbulence! Or fear of flying.

New Fear of Flying Courses

Here's a picture taken during the seminar when we made the DVD. This week it has been bought by an Indonesian company who are going to distribute it in their region.

But there have been more developments this week. Firstly the fear of flying information seminar will be held in the BAC 1-11 aircraft cabin located on the Alton Basingstoke road and we are preparing it and painting it ready to go into service.

Equipped with sound and video it will provide an amazing experience for people with a fear of flying.

Secondly today I have been approached by a company who want to market and provide our fear of flying course in a flight simulator. It will take a few weeks to organise but it will be a brand new course based on the course I developed for another company. It will probably be a six hour course with an hour or so in a 747 Jumbo simulator. We will market the course jointly but it will be a flying without fear. com product.

This means that we shall be the only company in the UK , offering everything from an inflight guide book to a seminar with a flight included. I hope you'll help us to spread the word so we can continue to help people around the world enjoy flying.
