Flying without Fear 101 Fear of Flying Questions answered. This is the new book out from the founders of Virgin Atlantic's Flying Without Fear Programme. Their course has been going since November 1997 and has helped thousands of people to beat their fear. Not everyone can make it to the courses and also some people want a top up after the course. This is a great buy in terms of simplicity, honesty and humour. Joanne Priestley wrote, 'If, like me, you break into a cold sweat at the very thought of going within fifty feet of an aeroplane, and have acquired a wide experience of holidays in the UK and France rather than face the trauma, this book is definitely for you!! A spin-off from the highly successful course of the same name, the book is written in a down to earth and very readable style, and without patronising the reader it uses sufficient technical detail and explanation to inspire confidence (did you know how many back up computers they have on an aircraft? Why lift really won't let it just fall out of the sky?) and goes a long way towards dispelling the myths and irrational fears that inspire the nightmares of us nervous passengers. I'm taking my first flight abroad in over twenty years in a couple of days' time and reading and re-reading the information contained in '101 Questions' is proving invaluable in enabling me to approach the experience in a positive frame of mind!'

Recent figures estimate that one in ten people suffers from a fear of flying. Ironically, this very mode of transport is becoming an everyday means of travel for many, and an essential part of our work and personal lives.
'Conquering Your Fear of Flying' is a positive and ultimately empowering book to help people overcome what is one of the most prevalent fears in today's fast-moving world, and one which often means pure terror for the sufferer. Dr Maeve Byrne Crangle examines and confronts the many types of anxiety involved with flying and lays out a plan to help conquer these apprehensions, which can often mean pure terror for the sufferer. She outlines a programme of self-management, showing how to use stress management techniques to cope and defuse our anxieties before and during flights.
Also included are chapters on basic aerodynamics, explanations of the many engine noise changes during the flight, turbulence, and how flight crews are selected and trained for emergencies.Air travel remains statistically safer than crossing the road, and flying has been proven to be twenty-five times safer than driving your own car.
'Conquering Your Fear of Flying' is the book to convince even the most faint-hearted flyers of these facts, and to help them towards a happy and fearless future with air travel. (Available from all good bookshops and Amazon.co.uk.- to order,please click on the logo below.

PRESS RELEASE - EX-FIGHTER PILOT RELEASES FIRST BOOK Ex-RAF Fighter Pilot, Tug Wilson has just released his first book, “The Nervous Passenger’s Guide to Flying.” The book explains in very simple terms all of those questions that fuel the fears of nervous flyers. Tug (real name Roy Wilson) was born and raised in Thirsk, North Yorkshire before joining the Royal Air Force in 1985 as a pilot (where he gained the ubiquitous nickname).He has flown a range of aircraft including the Phantom during the first Gulf War, the Hawk as a flying instructor and the F18 Hornet on exchange with the US Marine Corps. His final flying tour was on the Tornado F3 during which he flew in the Iraq No-Fly zone. Unfortunately Tug was grounded with a heart condition in 2000 but successfully re-trained as a Flight Safety expert gaining a Master’s Degree in Air Safety and becoming a Flight Safety Advisor to the Royal Saudi Air Force. Following his retirement from the RAF last September, Tug has worked with BAR and Williams Formula 1 racing teams and is now a simulator instructor on the Typhoon aircraft for BAE SYSTEMS.

THE NERVOUS PASSENGER'S GUIDE TO FLYINING - BY TUG WILSON
Tug’s inspiration for writing his book stemmed from the constant questions he was asked by other passengers on airliners whenever they found out that he was a pilot. The usual questions were, “Is it safe?” “What keeps the aeroplane up?” “What’s that noise?” and “Why do we get turbulence?” Unfortunately all the books currently available explain these things in such a technical way, that they tend to bamboozle the average reader. Tug’s approach to this is much more relaxed, almost as if you can imagine him talking directly to you whilst sitting on the aeroplane.
The book is written in a humorous conversational style in order to relax the reader such that they enjoy the whole flying experience. There are a number of simple diagrams to help explain the mildly complicated bits and Tug draws on his vast experience as a pilot to do this. Topics that are covered include take off, approach and landing, how aeroplanes fly, the weather (including the dreaded turbulence) and safety as well as a whole host of other subjects.
The Nervous Passenger’s Guide to Flying - ISBN 0-9546774-0-4 is available directly from RAW92 Publishing at 63 Stapleton Close, Bedale, North Yorkshire, DL8 2UA.

Wings of Discovery by Captain Stacey L. Chance
Wings of Discovery is a self-help book and an adventure story rolled into one. It delivers a message of optimism and perseverance, while at the same time it contains important information about flying, anxieties, and phobias that anyone who flies should read. It is the first book to combine fundamental fear of flying lessons with an amusing adventure story. Because the "fear of flying" can feel like a rational as well as an irrational fear, Wings of Discovery inspires you to learn on three levels; intellectual, spiritual, and emotional. The author flies for a major airline and operates the popular online Fear of Flying Help Course. For more info visit: www.fearofflyingbook.com
| ASK
THE PILOT: EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT AIR TRAVEL (Riverhead Books, 2004) Nearly two million people fly every day in the United States alone. Fair to say every one of them embarks on his or her journey with a measure of anxiety and curiosity. Ask the Pilot speaks frankly and eloquently to our concerns, without bogging down in technical discussions or euphemistic pilot-speak. "Anyone remotely afraid of flying should read
this book, as should anyone who appreciates good writing and the
value of great information." |
