Editorial Reviews

This informative videotape provides you with an illuminating view into all facets of flying including turbulence, takeoffs and landings, effects of bad weather (thunderstorms, snow, sleet, and rain), safety statistics, pilot training, airplane maintenence and operations, and much more. You will be taken on a journey from the inside of an airline's maintenance hanger to a pilot prefl žight walk around an airplane, then hop on board for an entire flight from beginning to end. Each phase of the flight is explained in simple terms.

Commonly asked questions that are answered in the video include: Is turbulence really safe? What are the odds of an accident? How well are airplanes maintained? How does an airplane fly? What happens when lightening hits an airplane? How can I relax during a flight? How well are pilots trained?

Surveys have shown that an informed educated flyer is a happy and relaxed flyer. In viewing this tape you will have taken the first step in overcoming your fears and anxieties during your next flight.

5.0 out of 5 stars As a fearful flyer the visuals was just what I needed., November 16, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Flying With Confidence Overcome your Fear of Flying [VHS] (VHS Tape)

As a fearful flyer I had read all the books on how to cope with being on an airplane, but when I walked through that cabin door, I forgot all I had read. My heart rate rose and hands began sweating. I recieved this video as a gift from my parents, who are also fearful flyers. After watching it 2 times, once when I recieved it and once before my next flight, on the airplane I actually felt O.K. I think it was the ability to watch what was going on during a flight in the comfort of my living room. Something I could never do on an actual flight because of my nervousness. The video help me understand what was happening and more importantly what was going to happen. I can almost say I enjoy flying (not quite), but it is much eaiser. It must have been the visuals. Great tape

I had an EXTREME flear of flying -- had not flown in ten years. This video helped me fly again! You must watch this video many times. Psychologists call this rehersal...the goal is to watch so many times that you are desensitized to your fear. Even if you don't think it is working, keep watching...you will be surprised that gradually you will feel much, much better about flying. The reviewers who complained about this video probably did not watch it over and over -- they expected an instant cure. (There are no instant cures.) Watch the video at least three times a week. Also try the full guranteed SOAR coarse (you can find out about it on the WEB). The two together are very, very powerful. I am looking forward to my flight to New York City on July 4, 2002! Happy Flying!

This video on fear of flying was easy to watch for me and my two childern. It took a complicated subject and made it understandable. Only thirty minutes long makes it easy to watch it more than once.
