How to overcome fear of flying
How to Overcome Fear of Flying: A Pilot’s Honest Order of Operations
There is a lot of advice on this subject and most of it is written by people who have never flown an aircraft. This is the ordered version from a flight school at Van Nuys: what to do first, what genuinely works, what quietly makes it worse, and the point at which you should stop reading and call a psychologist instead of us.

Start here
The first decision is not which technique. It is which problem you have
Two people say the same sentence — I am scared of flying — and mean completely different things. One means the shaking is unpleasant and the anticipation ruins the week before a holiday. The other means their heart rate goes to 140 in the security queue and they have twice walked back out of an airport. Those are not two intensities of the same problem. They are two different problems, and the order of operations is different.
If you are in the second group, the first step is a licensed psychologist and not an aeroplane. Cognitive behavioural therapy combined with graded exposure has the strongest evidence base for specific phobias, and doing the exposure half without the cognitive half can make things worse rather than better. We are a flight school. We are a very good step two and a poor step one.
If you are in the first group — uneasy, not incapacitated — then the rest of this page is written for you, and the single most useful thing on it is not a breathing exercise. It is information about what the aircraft is doing.
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. The Cleveland Clinic puts the number of affected US adults at about 25 million, and only a minority of those meet the clinical bar for a specific phobia. Both groups are real and neither is being silly.
What follows assumes you can get on an aircraft, or could with support. If you cannot, that is a different and entirely legitimate situation, and the person who can help you with it holds a psychology licence rather than a flight instructor certificate.
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 order
Eight steps, in the order that works
Ranked by what changes the underlying mechanism, not by what is easiest to sell.
01
Name which fear it is
Claustrophobia, loss of control, fear of panicking in public, and fear of a crash need different answers. Write down the moment in a flight that is worst for you: the door closing, the takeoff roll, the first bump, or the descent. Whatever you wrote is the thing to work on, and it is almost never the thing the safety statistics address.
02
Get the noises explained before you fly again
This is the highest-value hour available and it costs nothing. Almost every frightening moment on a commercial flight is a scheduled mechanical event: gear retraction 10 to 20 seconds after liftoff, a noise abatement thrust cutback at no less than 800 feet under FAA Advisory Circular 91-53A, flap retraction on a speed schedule through 3,000 feet. An unexplained noise is frightening. The same noise, named in advance, is boring.
03
Do your exposure in the simulator first
A full-motion simulator is a genuine graded step: real motion, real engine noise, real turbulence, with the ground underneath and a door you can open. Our Redbird MCX session is $189 and it is never cancelled for weather. Doing this before an aircraft is the sequencing an exposure programme would use anyway.
04
Fly the smallest, brightest, most visible aircraft you can
Counter-intuitive and consistently true. A four-seat trainer with a bubble canopy over the San Fernando Valley at 8am is less frightening for most nervous flyers than a widebody, because you can see the horizon, you can hear the engine change, and the person operating it is 18 inches away and talking to you.
05
Take the controls yourself
The step that changes the category of the problem. Holding the controls removes the loss of control and the loss of information simultaneously, and every noise from that point on is one you caused. A Discovery Flight For One is $229 for 60 minutes and your instructor is legally pilot in command throughout.
06
Book the earliest flight of the day, permanently
Thermal turbulence is made by the sun heating the ground, so it builds through the day and dies overnight. A 7am departure from Los Angeles is routinely smooth and a 3pm departure over the same terrain is not. This is free and almost nobody does it deliberately.
07
Use the exhale, not the distraction
Four seconds in, eight seconds out, repeated for two minutes. A long exhale pulls the heart rate down through the vagus nerve, which is why the same technique turns up in emergency medicine and aerobatic briefings. Films and podcasts postpone the fear. Breathing works on the physiology producing it.
08
Repeat sooner than feels comfortable
A single good flight followed by two years of avoidance leaves you roughly where you started. Fear shrinks with frequency, not with intensity. Two short flights a month beats one long one a year, which is the least popular sentence on this page and the most useful one.
What does not work
Four things that are widely recommended and quietly make it worse
Said plainly, because the omission is why the standard advice keeps failing.
1
Reciting accident statistics at yourself
The fear was never an arithmetic mistake, so arithmetic does not dislodge it. Worse, statistics-only arguments carry an implication that you are being irrational, which adds shame to fear and makes people stop talking about it. Numbers are useful for explaining what a specific event is. They are poor at making anybody feel calm.
2
Alcohol and unprescribed sedation
Both work in the moment and both charge interest. If every flight you survive was survived with a chemical, you never accumulate the evidence that you can do it without one, and the fear is intact next year. Anything prescribed is a conversation with your own doctor, and there are legitimate reasons for it. The failure mode is using it as the whole plan.
3
Avoidance, including the clever kinds
Driving 14 hours instead. Taking the job that does not travel. Every avoidance is a small deposit into the fear, because your nervous system reads the avoidance as confirmation that the threat was real. This is the single best-established finding in the anxiety literature and the hardest one to act on.
4
White-knuckling it and telling nobody
Sitting rigid for five hours with your jaw clenched is not exposure, it is endurance, and it teaches you nothing except that flying is something to be survived. Tell the cabin crew. Tell the instructor. Being told what is about to happen, by somebody who knows, is the intervention.
The noises
The full noise list, so you can stop guessing
Print it, screenshot it, read it on the taxiway. This is step two above, in table form.
| 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.
Where we fit
What we can do at Van Nuys, and what we will not claim
We can sit down with you for half an hour and answer questions with no cost and no booking at the end. We can put you in a full-motion Redbird MCX on the ground and fly turbulence at whatever intensity you ask for, with a stop button. We can put you in the left seat of an aircraft over the San Fernando Valley with a career instructor who is legally pilot in command, and let you fly it.
We will not tell you a percentage of nervous flyers we have helped, because we have not run a study and the number would be invented. We do not diagnose anything, and a flight school has no business promising that a fear will end. If you call and it becomes clear that a psychologist is the right next call, we will say so and we will not try to book you.
Los Angeles helps with the practical side. Van Nuys averages 355 flyable days a year measured against a 3,000 foot ceiling and 5 statute miles of visibility, which means the plan you make rarely gets cancelled and the smooth morning air you want is available most of the year.
The full guide: what fear of flying actually is · the Van Nuys flyable-days study
The fleet
The aircraft in question
Worth looking at before you decide a small aeroplane is the frightening option. You can see out of all of it, and reach every control in it.
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
Step three, in a box that moves
Full motion, FAA-approved, fully enclosed, on the ground, with a stop button.
The Redbird MCX session is $189 and runs about an hour. We can fly a smooth circuit, a bumpy one, a night arrival or a marine layer, and we can stop in the middle of any of it. Simulator hours also count inside every private pilot programme if this turns into something larger.
Your instructor
Tell us you are nervous when you book. It changes the flight
Every instructor here holds a commercial or airline transport pilot certificate with a flight instructor certificate and a current medical, and is legally pilot in command for the whole flight. On a nervous first flight the briefing runs longer than the flying, we fly the smoothest air available, and we narrate what is coming before it arrives rather than after.
You can also end it early. Say the word at any point and we come back and land, with no argument about the money and no speech about pushing through. Eleven instructors work here, so if the first personality is not the right one for this, we will put you with somebody else.

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.

FAQ
How To Overcome Fear Of Flying — Questions People Actually Ask
Work in this order: identify which fear it is, get the noises explained, do graded exposure starting with a full-motion simulator, fly a small aircraft where you can see out, then take the controls yourself. If your response includes panic symptoms, start instead with a psychologist using cognitive behavioural therapy and structured exposure. Frequency matters more than intensity, so fly again sooner than feels comfortable.
It addresses the mechanism directly. Most fear of flying is loss of control and loss of information, and holding the controls removes both in a single hour: you can see out, you know what the noises are because you caused them, and you are flying the aircraft. It does not automatically resolve claustrophobia in a full airliner cabin, which is a different environment.
Slow your exhale. Four seconds in, eight seconds out, for two minutes, which pulls heart rate down through the vagus nerve rather than distracting you from it. Then get visual reference: window seat, forward of the wing, shade up. Distraction postpones the fear. Breathing and a horizon work on the physiology producing it.
Alcohol works in the moment and costs you afterwards, because you never accumulate evidence that the flight was survivable without it, which is how a fear stays intact for years. Prescribed medication is a decision for your own doctor and there are legitimate uses for it. The failure mode is using it as the entire plan instead of alongside exposure work.
Because most low-level turbulence is thermal. The sun heats the ground, the ground heats columns of air, those columns rise, and the aircraft rides over them. It builds through the day and collapses overnight, which is why a 7am departure from Los Angeles is routinely smooth and a 3pm departure over the same terrain is not. Choosing the earliest flight of the day is free.
A Redbird MCX full-motion simulator session at Van Nuys is $189 and runs about an hour. It is FAA-approved and fully enclosed, it moves, and it can produce turbulence, weather and night conditions on request. You can stop it at any moment and open the door, which is why it is the sensible step before an aircraft.
It is a good second step and a poor first one if you have panic responses. A Discovery Flight For One is $229 for 60 minutes from Van Nuys, you fly the aircraft for most of it with a certificated instructor as pilot in command, and you can hand the controls back at any time or ask to land early. Tell us you are nervous when you book, because it changes how the flight is run.
Graded exposure combined with cognitive behavioural therapy has the strongest evidence base for specific phobias, and a licensed psychologist is the right person to run it. Real-world exposure is often the later stage of that plan, which is where a simulator session or a discovery flight can be genuinely useful. We are a flight school, not a clinic, and we work to whatever plan your therapist has set.
There is no honest average, and anybody quoting one is guessing. What is well supported is that frequency beats intensity: several short exposures close together do more than one large one a year, and long gaps between flights let the fear rebuild. We do not publish a success rate because we have not run a study.
You say so and we land. The instructor is pilot in command and can take the controls instantly, the flight can be cut short with no argument about the money, and Van Nuys is a few minutes away for the whole local flight. Knowing the exit exists is a large part of why the flight tends to go better than expected.
