Traditional courses involve a real flight. Why should a course in an aircraft simulator be better for me?
There are several answers to this question. Some people feel that since they still fly, even with a high level of anxiety, taking a flight in the cabin of a plane wouldn’t be enough help. They would rather have the chance to be in a cockpit with pilots, seeing the pilots fly and asking them what they feel they need to know. Being in the cockpit with pilots, with the possibility of helping to fly the plane if they wish, can really help with a number of worries, such as control issues. Some people think that the anxiety of knowing that they were about to take a flight would distract them during the day. Others don’t want to fly with a group of nervous flyers. They can worry that they may be “the worst”, or would feel inhibited about asking questions in front of strangers. If turbulence is a concern, there may not be any on the flight, so some may feel that that aspect of their fear has not been fully addressed. Strategies for flying after this course are discussed during the day.
