How to Overcome Fears of Flying
If you are afraid of flying, there are specialists who can teach you how to deal with your fears and finally get rid of them.
They will find out if a nearby airport has special training programs for people who are afraid to fly. Many airports do. How would such a program work?
First, a specialist will take your group to the airport to watch the planes take off and land. A representative from one of the airlines will explain how an airplane flies. Then your group will sit in an airplane that stays on the ground. At a later time, you will go up in a plane for a short flight and then land. Gradually the time you spend in the air will increase. When you are prepares for it, the group will take a trip to another city.
