Thank you Keith for your support.

I still feel a fear during the flight – more or less but I am able to fly inspite of fear.

Thanks to Captain Keith for his marvelous book and special thanks to Zsuzanna who gave me a great tip about positive visualization ..I can´t believe that this is the first time I didn´t say “This is the last time I´ll travel abroad !!!.

Way better than the BA (although i love to fly with them!) and virgin courses and the videos of take off’s etc are so useful and a brilliant idea.

Just wanted to let you know that I’ve been to Chile & I’m now back home. I had a lovely time & I’ve got to say that I’m so pleased that I attended your course.

It was really helpful, I wasn’t as anxious as I thought I was going to be.

I had a few turbulence, but I found that I put my concerns to the back of my mind rather than having them to the fore front of my mind. I was more relaxed & didn’t find myself becoming tense & clenching my fists. I also cut back on the alcohol, especially before boarding the plane. I did have some drinks on board with my meals & I’ve got to say my son was really surprised as to how little alcohol I did consume.  He was so proud of me & I’ve got to say how chuffed with myself I was for having done those very long flights on my own.  Anyway I just thought I’d let you know how I faired & so pleased that I attended your course & for your help in getting me through the ordeal of my first solo long haul flights.

Many thanks

Thank you so much for your kind and helpful phone call. The flight was fine!  I did deep breathing and thought of what you told me re: pilots grumbling about practicing basic things every 6 months that they hardly ever have to use!

I encouraged my mother to sign up for this site, and she did, as well.

I greatly appreciate your help.

Warm regards,

Hi  Captain Keith,

I want to thank you for your book and website – it has changed my experience of flying from one of anguished terror, to a situation where I actually relaxed and enjoyed my recent flight from Australia>New York return. Amazing! I developed a fear of flying after the birth of my children, so I felt pretty silly about it but I just couldn’t talk myself out of it. Now with your wise (and funny) words in my head when I fly, it’s all okay!

Warm regards,  M.  Brisbane, Australia

I attended your course last August. Last weekend I put it to the test and flew to Spain and back! I did my homework for two weeks before – listening to the tapes and watching the DVDs. I was expecting to take some fear along with me, but to my surprise I found that I had gone from an 8 out of 10, where 10 is paralytic with fear, to a 2 out of 10. I hardly had to call upon my breathing exercises! In September we fly to Atlanta Georgia. I may be back to you for a top up before. I’m leaving nothing to chance!

Many thanks

GREAT COURSE!

Its been a long time since I have posted anything on this site, for that I apologise because without you, your team and all who contribute to the network, I wouldn’t be flying and I would have missed a lot of great holidays.

I have been to Turkey, we went to Egypt to cruise the Nile, last year we cruised around Egypt and the holy land and in December we went to Lanzarote.  Don’t get me wrong I can still get nervous when flying especially when coming into land, but nothing stops me flying now, I even sit at the window seat now and enjoy the great views.

Hi Keith,
Not sure you will remember me but I came along to your course as a “supporter” for my wife almost a year ago. Well we have just returned from a trip to see our son in Australia!
Your course never pretended to be a 100% guaranteed magic course, and in any case, anyone who was looking for that would be very naive.

But it certainly helped a great deal.
So I am writing to thank you for your help and patience and we have already recommended you to a couple of our friends!

HI I’M 8 MINUTES INTO WATCHING  A TV PROGRAMME CALLED ‘THE  WORLD’S 10 SCARIEST LANDINGS’ …APPARENTLY THE PROBLEM WITH THE FIRST AIRCRAFT IS THAT THE 737 CAN’T JETTISON FUEL…REALLY? NO WONDER…THE PLANE CONCERNED IS AN AIRBUS.   DO I NEED TO WATCH THE REST OF THE GARBAGE THAT’S ABOUT TO FOLLOW?

27 MINUTES INTO THE PROGRAMME…CONCORDE HAS 2 ENGINES…REALLY?

APPARENTLY PILOTS LIKE TO KICK THE RUDDER ON A CROSSWIND LANDING…RUBBISH!

“Almost vertical approach” …vertical is 90 degrees a normal approach is 3 degrees

“Passengers could feel the effects of the crosswind”…how?

” 800,000 horsepower engine”…no such engine.

” one engine pulls to one side and could flip the plane over”  No it couldn’t.

I always advised against watching Air disaster movies. I hope these  comments convince you.

Captain Keith

I would like to thank you for your help!! I had a wonderful vacation on Mexico! The flights were fine and believe it or not, i kind of enjoy it!!!! I’ve made a short film of the landing and im posting it here.

You frase  (sic)  was always in my thoughts “Turbulence is not dangerous, just uncomfortable”!!

Thank you very much indeed!!!

My best wishes for 2012!!!!!!!!!

You should talk to Capt Keith, because along with a huge list of fears, this was one of my fears. I believe there is a window in the cockpit which will open.

If you have a chance then please go on one of the courses. I had not flown for 35 years and after the course I went on a 4hour flight twice.

It’s now been 2 years and I have been to Australia, Doha and the  Far East.  Yes I do still gets a bit nervous, but I take the book with me and I always pretend that Capt Keith is flying the plane.

But I got help: the incredible BA staff on the flight to London. I took your advice and told them and they where so friendly and helpful. The first officer actually came out during the flight to have a chat with me about the weather conditions and turbulence in general. I dare to say that tipped me over and I realised finally I have nothing to fear.

Several times during the next 11 hour flight I found myself saying in my head “ah well I won’t worry bout this or that. I’ll leave it to the professionals”.

Flying again in 4 days and for the first time I really don’t feel bothered at all.
