Thank you for joining me. I would like to introduce myself, Captain Stacey L. Chance. I am an active airline pilot and flight instructor.

What to Expect

You will learn why you get nervous and how to address your unpleasant reactions to fear and anxiety. To establish a feeling of trust you will then learn about aviation from every angle - the people, the plane, the weather, the statistics, etc. Finally, you will safely experience a "virtual practice flight". This will be the highlight of the course, pulling together everything you have learned.

Nervous flyer discusses the online course Watch using YouTube Launch in external player

You have three options for watching videos, the embedded player, YouTube, or an external player. If you are unable to view the videos please read on, the videos are optional.

If you begin to feel anxious while taking this course you can relax by taking a short break. The most effective method to calm yourself is a simple breathing exercise which only takes a few seconds. You'll soon see that you are in control of how you feel!
