Fear of Flying: What It Actually Is, and What Actually Helps
Fear of flying is mostly a control-and-information problem rather than a fear of height, and we take that mechanism apart in full on its own page. This one is the whole picture: which of the four fears is actually yours, every sound and sensation named before you hear it, what the NTSB and FAA figures genuinely measure, and the honest order to do something about it in.

What it is
Fear of flying is at least four different fears wearing one coat
Ask ten frightened flyers what frightens them and you get ten different answers, and only two or three of them mention a crash. One is claustrophobic and would be just as unhappy in a lift. One cannot stand not knowing how long the shaking will last. One is fine until the cabin door closes and the exit stops being an option. One has had a panic attack in a supermarket and is terrified of having another one somewhere with no door.
That matters, because the advice you get depends entirely on which one you are. Reciting accident statistics to someone whose actual fear is having a panic attack in a confined space is not just useless. It is slightly insulting, because it answers a question they did not ask.
The common thread across almost all of it is not altitude. It is that a passenger has been placed in a sealed room, with no view, no information, no influence, and no exit, and asked to sit still for five hours while unexplained noises happen underneath them. Put a calm person in that room and they get twitchy too. The fear is not a defect in you. It is a fairly reasonable response to a genuinely strange set of conditions.
Read this first
When a flight school is the wrong first step
We build pilots. We are not a clinic, and this page is not medical advice.
Fear of flying is common enough that the Cleveland Clinic puts the number of US adults affected at about 25 million. For a substantial share of those people it is discomfort: unpleasant, manageable, worse on the way to the airport than in the air. For a smaller share it is aerophobia, a specific phobia in the clinical sense, with the panic response that comes with it.
Those two groups need different things, and it would be dishonest of a flight school to pretend otherwise. If you are in the second group, the evidence points at a licensed psychologist, cognitive behavioural therapy and structured exposure work — not at a stranger handing you the controls of an aeroplane. Sending you to one is not us losing a sale. It is us being right.
1
See a professional first if this is panic
If the thought of a flight brings on a racing heart, shortness of breath, sweating or a sense of dread you cannot talk yourself out of, that is a clinical picture and a licensed psychologist is the right first call. Cognitive behavioural therapy and graded exposure therapy have the strongest evidence behind them for specific phobias.
2
We are glad to be step two
Plenty of people arrive here after doing that work, with a therapist who has suggested real-world exposure as the next stage. Some bring their therapist’s notes. That is a good use of an hour in the Redbird or in the aircraft, and we will work to whatever plan you have been given.
3
What we actually offer
Two things, both honest: exposure to the real thing with a professional pilot sitting beside you, and an explanation of what is happening while it happens. No claims beyond that. We do not diagnose, we do not publish a success rate, and we will tell you on the phone if we think you should talk to someone else first.
The mechanism
The variable is control, and you can test that yourself
Here is the observation that started this page. Flight instructors almost never meet a nervous instructor. People who are frightened as passengers are frequently fine, or nearly fine, the first time they hold the controls themselves. The aircraft is smaller, louder and closer to the weather. Everything that ought to make it worse is present, and it is usually better.
The everyday version of the same effect is car sickness. Drivers rarely get sick. Passengers do. Nothing about the vehicle changes between those two seats. What changes is that the driver’s brain knows a half-second in advance which way the car is about to move, because it is the thing deciding. Prediction kills the nausea. Control creates prediction.
A passenger cabin systematically removes all four of the things that let you predict a flight: you cannot see the horizon, you cannot hear anything you can interpret, you cannot influence the outcome, and you have handed your safety to a person you will never meet or even see. Sitting in the left seat with your hands on the controls inverts every one of them at once, in a single hour. That is not a marketing line. It is a claim you can go and test, and it is the entire reason a flight school has anything useful to say about this subject.
Read the long version: why loss of control causes fear of flying
The noises
What every sound and sensation actually is
Nobody tells passengers any of this, which is the problem. Here is the whole sequence of a normal flight, in order, with what each noise is and why it happens then.
| What you hear or feel | When | What it actually is |
|---|---|---|
| A rising whine, then a solid thunk under the floor | At the gate, before pushback | Hydraulic pumps coming up to pressure, then the door or jetbridge latching. Nothing has moved yet. |
| A rhythmic barking, like a large dog, every couple of seconds | On the ground and during taxi | On Airbus A320-family jets this is the Power Transfer Unit, a pump that borrows pressure from one hydraulic system to feed another when the second engine is not running. It is famous, it is normal, and it stops once both engines are turning. |
| Engines spool up, a firm push into the seat | Takeoff roll | Takeoff thrust. The push you feel is roughly a quarter of the force gravity is already applying to you sitting still. |
| A heavy clunk and the wind noise suddenly drops | 10 to 20 seconds after the wheels leave | The landing gear folding into the wheel wells and the doors closing over it. The aircraft gets quieter and faster at the same time, which is why the drop in noise feels like a loss of power. |
| The engine note falls away sharply and the nose lowers | Between 800 and 3,000 feet above the airport | A thrust cutback. FAA Advisory Circular 91-53A lets crews reduce power for noise abatement at no less than 800 feet above field elevation and hold the profile to 3,000 feet. This is the single most misread moment in airline flying: it feels exactly like an engine quitting, and it is a scheduled power reduction the crew makes on purpose. |
| A grinding, whirring noise, and the wing visibly gets thinner | Climbing through roughly 1,000 to 3,000 feet | Flaps and slats retracting on a speed schedule. Big wing for slow flight, small wing for fast flight. The wing is meant to change shape. |
| Small repeated jolts, like a car on a cattle grid | Any phase of flight | Air is not smooth. It has texture, layers and rising columns over hot ground, and the aircraft is riding over them. Nothing is breaking. |
| The wingtip flexing up and down several feet | Turbulence, and on every takeoff | The wing is a spring, deliberately. It is designed to bend so that gust loads are absorbed rather than resisted. A wing that did not move would be the problem. |
| Engines go quiet and the floor seems to fall away | Top of descent, 30 to 40 minutes before landing | Power back towards idle to start down. The sinking feeling is your inner ear reporting a change in vertical speed of a few hundred feet a minute, which it exaggerates badly. |
| A rumble and a shudder, and panels lift off the top of the wing | Descent, and again after touchdown | Speedbrakes and spoilers. They spoil the lift on purpose to let the aircraft come down or stay down. |
| A whine, then a firm mechanical thump under your feet | Five to ten minutes before landing | Landing gear extending and locking. The thump is the locks engaging, and the crew wants to hear it. |
| A loud roar immediately after the wheels touch | Landing rollout | Reverse thrust. Loudest noise of the whole flight, made while you are already on the ground doing 130 knots and slowing. |
Power reduction altitudes are from FAA Advisory Circular 91-53A, Noise Abatement Departure Profile. Everything else on this table is what the aircraft is doing mechanically at that moment.
Turbulence
What turbulence is, and what the numbers actually say
The honest version, with what each figure measures.
Turbulence is texture in the air, not damage to the aircraft. Warm ground heats a column of air, the column rises, the aircraft flies through it and gets pushed up. Then it flies out of it and stops being pushed. Over the San Fernando Valley on an August afternoon that happens every few seconds, which is why flight instructors here schedule first lessons before 10am.
The structural side is not a matter of opinion. Under 14 CFR 25.337(b) a transport-category airliner is certificated to a positive limit manoeuvring load factor of at least 2.5g. Under 14 CFR 25.303 a safety factor of 1.5 is applied on top of that, and under 14 CFR 25.305 the structure has to carry the resulting ultimate load without failing for at least three seconds. When Boeing ran that test on the 787 in March 2010 the wingtips bent about 25 feet upward at 150% of limit load and the wing did not break. Turbulence you would describe as bad is a fraction of one g.
The injury data is worth stating precisely, because it is usually quoted wrongly. The NTSB safety study Preventing Turbulence-Related Injuries in Air Carrier Operations (SS-21/01) examined 111 turbulence-related accidents on US Part 121 airlines from 2009 through 2018. Those accidents produced 123 seriously injured people. Of those, 97 were flight attendants and 26 were passengers. No flight crew member was seriously injured. That is 26 passengers over ten years of US airline flying, and the common factor in almost every case is being out of a seatbelt.
None of that means your fear is silly. It means the thing your body is bracing for — structural failure — is not the thing that is happening, and the one action that measurably matters is the one you already control: keep the belt fastened when you are sitting down.
What helps
What actually helps, in the order that works
Ordered by what the evidence and thirty years of ramp conversations support, not by what we sell.
01
Get diagnosed before you get exposed
If your response includes a racing heart, tunnel vision, shortness of breath or a fear of losing control of yourself rather than of the aircraft, start with a psychologist. Cognitive behavioural therapy plus graded exposure is the best-supported approach for specific phobias, and doing exposure without the cognitive half can entrench the fear rather than reduce it.
02
Learn the machine, not the statistics
Accident rates do not calm anybody down, because the fear was never an arithmetic error. Knowing that the power reduction at 800 feet is a noise abatement procedure does calm people down, because it replaces an unexplained event with an explained one. Information is the antidote to the specific thing that is wrong.
03
Do the exposure in the safest available version first
A full-motion simulator gives you turbulence, engine noise, weather and motion while the building stays attached to the ground and you can stop it. That is a genuine graded step, and it is cheaper than an aircraft. Our Redbird MCX session is $189.
04
Sit where you can see
Forward of the wing, window seat, daylight. Visual reference is the single cheapest intervention available to a passenger and almost nobody uses it deliberately. If you can see the horizon you can predict the motion, and prediction is the whole game.
05
Fly in the morning
Thermal turbulence is generated by ground heating. It builds through the day and collapses overnight. In Los Angeles a 7am departure is routinely glassy and a 3pm departure over the same ground is not. Choosing the time of day is free.
06
Be careful with alcohol and sedatives
They work in the moment and they cost you afterwards, because you never get to learn that the flight was survivable without them. That is the mechanism by which a fear gets worse each year. Anything prescribed is a conversation with your doctor, not with us.
07
Breathe out longer than you breathe in
Nothing mystical. A long exhale loads the parasympathetic side of the nervous system and pulls the heart rate down, which is why the technique survives in aerobatic briefings and emergency medicine alike. Four seconds in, eight seconds out, for two minutes.
08
Take the controls
This is the step nobody else in this market can offer, and it is the one that changes the category of the problem rather than the size of it. You stop being cargo. Everything after that is detail.
Where we fit
What a flight school can honestly offer, and what it cannot
We can put you in an aircraft at Van Nuys with a career instructor beside you, and we can explain every noise before it happens rather than after. We can give you an hour in a full-motion simulator where the turbulence is real enough to be useful and the floor is still attached to the building. We can let you fly the aircraft yourself, which is the part that tends to reframe the whole thing.
We cannot fix a phobia, and we are not going to claim a percentage. There is no published success rate on this page because we do not have a study, and inventing one would be the easiest thing in the world and also the worst. Some people book a discovery flight, love it, and are still uneasy on a 737 six months later, because a 737 is a different environment with different conditions.
What we will do is tell you honestly which of the two steps you should take first. If that conversation ends with us suggesting you speak to a psychologist before you speak to an instructor, that is a good outcome for the call. The consultation is free and nothing is booked at the end of it unless you ask for it to be.
The fleet
The aircraft you would actually sit in
Small aircraft frighten people in the abstract and reassure them in person, mostly because you can see out of all of it and reach everything.
Single-engine training is flown in the Cessna, Piper and Diamond aircraft. The Cirrus SR22 Turbo carries a whole-airframe CAPS parachute, which is the aircraft most nervous first-timers ask about by name.
Redbird MCX
The safest first step we have: a simulator that moves
Full-motion, FAA-approved, fully enclosed, and it has a stop button.
A Redbird MCX session is $189. We can fly turbulence, a night arrival into Van Nuys, a marine layer, or nothing at all while you sit in it with the door open and get used to the noise. Simulator hours are also built into every private pilot programme, so nothing you do here is wasted.
Your instructor
The person in the right seat is the whole thing
Every instructor here holds a commercial or airline transport pilot certificate plus a flight instructor certificate and a current medical, and on every flight the instructor is legally pilot in command. That is not a formality. It means the aircraft is being operated by a professional and you are being taught, which is a different legal and practical situation from being a passenger.
Tell whoever books you that you are nervous. It changes what we do. We brief longer, we fly the smoothest air we can find, we tell you what is about to happen before it happens, and we will land early with no argument and no fee dispute if you have had enough. There are eleven instructors, and if the first one is not the right personality for this we will move you.
What people say
5.0 Stars, 70 Reviews
Seventy reviews, all of them on Google, and the thing nervous flyers mention most is the briefing rather than the view.
★
Instructors who explain, not perform
The line that comes up most in our Google reviews is about the briefing table, not the flight. People who arrive nervous mention being told what was about to happen before it happened.
★
Nobody is rushed off the ramp
Eleven instructors and a fleet we own means an hour on the ground before an hour in the air is a scheduling decision, not a favour.
★
The number does not move
You book at $229 or $189 and that is what it costs. Reviewers mention the absence of surprises about as often as they mention the view.
All 70 reviews are on Google. We do not aggregate ratings from anywhere else, and we do not publish a figure we cannot point at.
What it costs
Three ways in, in order of how much they ask of you
The free consultation is deliberately first. Nobody researching this at 1am needs a booking form before they need a person to talk to.
Start here
Free Consultation
$0 / 30 min
Sit down with an instructor at Van Nuys and ask everything, including the questions you think sound stupid. Nothing is booked at the end of it unless you want it booked. If we think a psychologist should see you before an aircraft does, we will say so here.
Redbird MCX Simulator Session
$189 / session
A full-motion, FAA-approved, fully enclosed simulator on the ground. Turbulence, engine sounds, weather and motion, with a stop button and a door you can open. The safest possible first exposure, and it is never cancelled for weather.
Discovery Flight For One
$229 / 60 min
A real aircraft, a real hour, and you fly it. Your instructor is legally pilot in command and can take the controls at any moment. The time is logged as dual instruction, and the full price is credited against any programme if you enrol within 24 hours.
If it turns into something bigger
Discovery Flight For Two
$299 / 60 min
Bring the person who talked you into this. One of you flies, the other sits behind and watches. The 90 and 120-minute versions are $399 and $499.
Sport Pilot

FAQ
Fear Of Flying, Answered
It is a thrust cutback, not an engine problem. FAA Advisory Circular 91-53A allows crews to reduce power for noise abatement at no less than 800 feet above field elevation and to hold that profile until 3,000 feet. The aircraft has also just retracted its landing gear, so it gets quieter and faster at the same moment, which makes the power reduction feel far larger than it is.
Usually not. Most people who are frightened of flying are fine on a balcony and fine on a ladder, and many are fine in a small aircraft where they can see out. The common factor is loss of control and loss of information rather than altitude, which is why sitting in the pilot seat often feels better than sitting in row 24.
The NTSB safety study SS-21/01 found 111 turbulence-related accidents on US Part 121 airlines from 2009 through 2018, producing 123 seriously injured people: 97 flight attendants, 26 passengers, and no flight crew. That is 26 seriously injured passengers across a decade of US airline flying, and the common factor is being out of a seatbelt.
It is not the failure mode. Under 14 CFR 25.337(b) an airliner is certificated to a positive limit load factor of at least 2.5g, 14 CFR 25.303 applies a further safety factor of 1.5, and 14 CFR 25.305 requires the structure to carry that ultimate load without failing for at least three seconds. In the Boeing 787 static test of March 2010 the wingtips bent roughly 25 feet upward at 150% of limit load without breaking. The wing is designed to flex.
On A320-family aircraft it is the Power Transfer Unit, a pump that borrows pressure from one hydraulic system to drive another when the second engine is not running. It barks in a rhythm every couple of seconds on the ground and during single-engine taxi, and it stops once both engines are turning. It is one of the most reported and least explained noises in commercial aviation.
See a professional first if your response includes panic symptoms: racing heart, shortness of breath, tunnel vision, or fear of losing control of yourself. Cognitive behavioural therapy with graded exposure has the strongest evidence for specific phobias. A discovery flight is a good second step once you have that support in place, and plenty of people come to us in exactly that order.
It helps with the mechanism rather than the environment. Holding the controls removes the loss of control and the loss of information in one hour, and most people find the noises on an airliner stop being mysterious afterwards because they have caused versions of them themselves. It does not automatically fix claustrophobia in a full cabin, and we will not pretend it does.
A Redbird MCX session at Van Nuys costs $189 and lasts about an hour. The simulator is full-motion, FAA-approved and fully enclosed, and we can fly turbulence, weather, night arrivals or nothing at all. You can stop it at any second and open the door, which is the entire point of doing this step before you do it in an aircraft.
A Discovery Flight For One is $229 for 60 minutes from Van Nuys Airport. You are the pilot flying for most of it, your instructor is legally pilot in command and can take over instantly, and you can also decide on the day to just sit and watch. The hour is logged as dual instruction and the full price is credited against any programme if you enrol within 24 hours.
Early morning. Thermal turbulence is produced by ground heating, so it builds through the afternoon and collapses overnight. Van Nuys averages 355 flyable days a year against a 3,000 foot ceiling and 5 statute miles of visibility, and the smoothest air of the day is almost always before 10am.
