Fear of flying is rarely fear of flying but of crashing and dying which statistically for air travel is rare. Pilots who administer the courses mentioned in my previous post have found much is attributed to passenger's ignorance of how an aircraft works and air traffic control procedures. Media hype hasn't helped of course.kiwi73 wrote:is it the fear of being alone up in the air or the fear of the actual airlines safety record that worries you?
Well I can confirm that we overshot the runway today, after the ATC gave clearance to land, while there was a plane on the runway! we was less than 50ft from the runway, when the abort action took place, and i can tell you, with that tonnage and the steep climb we entered into, it was a bloody scary feeling.Plavt wrote:Fear of flying is rarely fear of flying but of crashing and dying which statistically for air travel is rare.

I'm afraid I'd have to disagree with that. If you are flying 1st or Business you have no options but if you are flying cattle class, unless you really don't care, the last place I will sit is over the wings.ev-disinfection wrote:"get an aisle seat (so you don't look out of the windows) where the airplanes wings are at (Middle of the plane),"
Get the seats where the plane's wings are, usually at the middle of the plane, those are the best seats and where the plane is most stable....
Only if you happen to be the black box itself, I doubt there is any statistics confirming your statement. Ev-disinfection is correct the wings are where there is least movement.sundaymorningstaple wrote: Statistically, if there is a plane crash, the tail section is the safest place to be generally.
I may be wrong but I don't think you can fly to the Us with a one-way ticket unless you are a citizen . . . could be wrong.sweetie2980 wrote: As im writing this, me and my fiance have discussed further bout this and i was thinking of getting my mother's help to buy a one way ticket to US. .
