Doesn't matter how many planes I get on or how many of these videos I watch.. "Landing" is still the greatest feeling of relief in the world.

I want this guy to be my pilot for every flight I take lol

his accent and voice makes it more convincing

He’s right: fear of flying is not (only) related to heights, but also lack of control and claustrophobia. The feeling that you can’t escape or move for hours and/or people laughing at you, thinking you’re going crazy plays a huge part in panic attacks. I’ve suffered from FoF all my adult life but it never escalates to panic. My advice? First and foremost: acknowledge your anxiety. Admit it as part of yourself, don’t think of it as foreigner or the enemy. Then use distractions. I listen to music or watch a movie on my phone. Read a magazine, talk to people next to you or the hostesses (don’t be ashamed of confessing you’re scared). Finally, always keep in mind that it’s just FEAR, not mental illness. And that fear is going to vanish as the flight goes on. If you endure the first minutes, you made it. Good luck my friend.

I'm not afraid of flying, I'm afraid of crashing.

I fly for business reasons and have been on over 300 flights. I still tend to get a little nervous but I can distract myself. Here are a couple ways I decrease my anxiety. I hope this helps. : ) - We are all more likely to die in a car accident than a plane accident. Yet, I do not get nervous about driving my car. So, I tell myself not to worry, the plane is safer. - I buy a magazine or a newspaper I want to read at the airport. I do not routinely purchase these reading items so it is a treat for me. I start reading and my anxiety decreases. - I like to watch movies so if in flight movies are offered, after I sit down I start scanning movies. When I find one I like, I start watching as soon as possible. I get so engrossed, I forget I am flying. - As soon as drinks are being served I usually calm down a lot. I figure the pilot would not allow drink service if there were any concerns. - Sometimes I listen to music, and this can calm me down, - If you are a talkative person, sometimes talking to your neighbor on a flight helps. When I am nervous, talking to my neighbor does not always help me but I know some people say it makes a difference. - Crossword puzzles. I carry a couple of crossword puzzle I cut out of the newspapers. I find trying to solve a puzzle helps me. - I remind myself the wings moving is not a concern, the wings are designed to move. - We humans do not not move up and down in vertical space much. So, the vertical sensation that occurs in turbulence is 'uncomfortable' but it does not mean anything concerning is happening. - Each time I finish a flight and walk off, I tell myself I accomplished the flight and I am proud. I sorta laugh at myself for making a big deal of the flight. And replay the scary moments- realizing they were not that scary. I was just working myself up. - I know people who will not buy their favorite candy for 3 weeks before the flight. Then, while in the terminal, they buy their favorite candy bar. Then on the flight they get to eat it. They reward themselves for staying brave and finally having their favorite candy is a big treat!

I think most will agree with me that one of the worst bits is when the plane is levelling and it feels like your dropping, and does anyone else get that feeling like your on a roller coaster and it’s slowly going up and up and it feels like you should drop but you don’t ( in short it’s just unnerving )

As someone that used to have a fear of flying, here is a list of things more likely to happen than dying in a plane crash: Becoming President of the United States, dying from a meteorite strike, winning an oscar, winning an olympic gold medal, drowning in your bathtub, dating a millionaire, writing a NY times bestseller, dying in a tornado, meeting someone who speaks cherokee, living to 100, dying from a lightning strike, dying from scalding hot water, dying from food poisoning, dying from falling off a ladder (lol) and dying from falling out of your own bed (lol). Happy flying!

This guy is a genius! He knows how to calm people down. God bless him.

Watching this on a plane just before takeoff

I learned from Air Crash Investigation the following: 1- The show covers about 40 incidents happened during the last 50 years. 40 incidents in 50 years vs 1000s of safe daily flights made me understand how safe are airplanes. 2- I learned a lot of flying elements (flaps, navigation, ATC communication, Pilot’s trainings, etc.) that I didn’t know before which answered several questions in my mind. 3- Every incident in the show occurred due to unbelievably rare causes combined together and caused a crash. 4- Those incidents never happened again. Thanks for the noble, honorable, honest people in the aviation world. 5- Incidents does not mean fatal crash. 6- I have never been able to imagine the complexity of an airplane in terms of safety without this show. I mean literally the airplane systems “fight” to the last second before any crash can happen. For example, in the unlikely event of an engine failure the plane still flies with 1 engine. Even if all engines stopped working (almost impossible) the plane still glides safely to a nearest airport. Even if all engines stopped working and the plane has no power, the pilots still have secondary sources of power to be used in emergency events. Every single system has alternatives if any fail.

I’m just afraid of the take off. It’s so rough and forceful

1:13 "Airplane crashes get alot of airtime" did he just make a pun? 🤣

I think the best way to overcome your air travel fear is to believe in the pilot of your plane.. and believe that he knows how to handle the situation.. all air crew members are well knowledgeable about the situation onborad so relax have your seat belt on and enjoy the ride and trust the air pilots know their job well. And also keep in mind that air turbulence are common for planes to come across. Please just follow the instructions of the cabin crew members and pilot for a safe journey... Hope this tip will help a little to at least. Do keep me posted.

Here’s another good piece of advice. Flying is a regular thing, you’re just not used to it. Thousands of flights every day, just like car rides and train rides and every other form of transportation. Pilots and flight attendants are highly trained professionals. Planes may be scary but at the end of the day you will be fine.

Thank you for posting. 54 and going overseas in two weeks. Always struggled with this. This piece helps a lot! I will rewatch.

I also read to set timers for every 10 minutes (if you’re on a short flight) bc then you are that much closer to landing. I tried this once and it actually helped. I have a horrible fear of flying and I’m getting ready to fly on Tuesday with all my kids. I’m trying to do what I can to calm myself so they can see me calm and not get scared as it’s their first flight. Last time I flew I almost grabbed the girls arm next to me. That’s how fearful I am, but realistically I know it’s safe. I know it’s an irrational fear. It’s just a feeling of being helpless in the air. Plus I think I’m more afraid of the feeling of anxiety than anything. I’m afraid to be afraid, if that makes sense. The anxiety itself has a hold on me and I really would like to be free of that.

Even his name is comforting, Mr.Allright 🤣

I attended the BA Flying With Confidence course a few years ago at London Heathrow and Captain Allright took it. The course is structured so well and everyone’s fear and concerns are taken seriously. I came away with a confidence I never thought I’d have concerning flying. Every question/doubt in my mind that I had about flying prior to the course was answered and in a way I could get my head around. If you have any doubts and/or fears about flying, book yourself onto the BA Flying With Confidence course. It’s a positive step in the right direction.

Best way is to seat back and let someone take control of the plane. Pilots know what to do and get trained for it. Just let go your fear and enjoy being on a different environment. It works 👌

The sad thing is, air crash investigation made me have a fear of flying

im watching thise becouse i was watching air crash investiugation and i fly tomorow

recognise early. lol for me its 3 months before my flight.

Air crashes get an awful lot of airtime, haha! But the captain inspires great confidence, has a soothing voice.

Every time I get on a plane I start feeling anxious, even before the day of departure, but besides working on these kind of advices recently I also started focusing -while already on the plane- on how amazing aeronautics are and how wonderful and amazing machines planes really are and specially on how amazing and capable pilots are as well.

you know, i think air crash investigations should be stopped, because a lot of people watch that, and it is just very bad, because there are so many episodes, it looks like it happends quitte often, and a lot of people, they develop or make a fear even worse, and that's why air crash investigations should be stopped!

People scared of flying go "I love driving!" Driving actually is more risky!

It's so reassuring how calm and handsome he is.

This is so helpful. You have no idea. Thank you so much!

I had a pilot on southwest airlines that attempted to land in chicago and the weather was horrible and we had to divert to indianapolis. He comes out of the cockpit saying he just wanted to get home to st louis. He had no business attempting that landing. I got off that plane and got a rental and drove home. It was a horrible landing and it wasnt a full flight so he clearly felt he could take risks. I wanted to knock him out for attempting to land the plane. I told him he had no business attempting that landing! Too bad if he didnt like it. It was the truth

He sure has a good last name for a person who reassures people with fear of flights.

If u want my advise, the plain is in a more dangerous stage when it takes off and when it lands. When you are actually in the air, the plain is in a way more relaxing stage. And honestly, you don’t have to be scared in the landing or take offs because plains rarely get in to trouble then. Good luck my friend.

Now I know that all of my travel is really safe and there isn't the slightest of problems ever thank you great video 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🍀🍀🍀🛫✈️🛬💒💺💯🔛🔝🏡

Well now I feel allright about flying 🙄🤣

Plane crashes may be uncommon, but there is a chance I could be the one...

When my plane crashes over the sea and I get drowned alive I will remember this

The aircraft is never in danger during turbulence? OMG! Nice

Like Dave Allen said: “I’m not afraid of flying. I’m afraid of getting up to 35,000 feet and then not flying.”

I been playing flight simulator and that really helps me understand how planes fly. My biggest fear in my mind is that during take-off we would crash into another plane. I now know that can't happen because airplanes fly pre-determined departures and approaches at an airport to keep them in a single file line plus all planes have TCAS which alerts them to nearby air traffic.

2:39 to get to the 4 R's.

It really is hard to control your mind when turbulence is REALLY BAD. I was in a flight from Singapore to Hong Kong and the turbulence was SO BAD. I was like "I'm going to be okay" as the plane shook like a roller coaster

Thankyou sir , I no longer puke while THINKING of my flight

Great advice , usally sitting in the front side of the plane or over the wing side makes less impact of the air terbulence, avoid sitting in the window seat , sit in the aisle seat .

I have travel anxiety. I have a flight after 5hours.

Here's another perspective: I was listening to a radio show about aviation and they were discussing the future possibility of a "pilot-less" commercial airplane. Not auto-pilot, but true "no one in the cockpit", computer flying aircraft. The commentators both agreed "NO". NEVER"......when asked why, they said "I want someone flying the plane that has as much to lose as I do" (i:e: my life)!

i used to enjoy flying, now i'm just anxious and want to get on land as soon as possible

I’ve been flying all my life because my parents both work on airplanes, I’ve never had big problems expect a bit of movement. My brother and I got so used to the feeling that we liked the adrenaline that comes with turbulence. But i’ve been thinking about death a lot these days and I’m so afraid of something bad happening, not only to me but every single person in the plane. If I live through a crash, i’d have to live with the fact that not everyone got out. Heck what if my family doesn’t get out. It’s a horrible feeling and I’m overthinking it. I have a flight later today and I’m freaking out internally. Last night I stress cleaning until very late and now I feel drained, tires and stressed.

Having watched many Air crash doco's, I've noticed that many accidents have been caused by pilots over confidence in both their abilities and the aircraft eg ignoring warnings and not turning back early, thinking they can troubleshoot in the air.

Air Crash Investigation can be good depending on the trigger. In my case I have trust issues about airlines and the people who work there, so watching episodes of industry members prioritising passengers’ safety was the reason I was willing to get on a plane.

Watching this now on a plane to calm down

Who else felt relieved when he started talking but then ne said occasionally crashes do happen and then you felt like crying 😭😬😭😬😭😬😭😬😭😬

My biggest fear in flying is technical failure not turbulence and that has been the cause of most of these crashes.

These are very good tips for anxiety in general, not just flying 👍

I swore off flying for over 45 years and just recently went to the Cayman Islands with my whole family. Flew 4 flights and hit bad turbulence over Florida and had to divert around. I put on a brave face but I was terrified

sometimes you cant get rid of certain fears.. some people have a fear of flying but still fly.. some people have a fear of heights but cant get rid of the fear.. even if they fly or go high to "cure" it, sometimes you just cant.. there are some fears you can, but everyone is different.. fear doesnt have to stop you doing things though even if there is a risk..

Thank you thank you so much cause I'm trying to get away from the fear of flying. And this video really help a lot. Thanks to the pilot

This was so helpful ,many thanks

Could be be any more calming? He's the Brian Busby of the air (he is my local chief meterologist and talks me right thru my tornado phobias hehheh)

I’m terrified of the air because of the heights mainly if it was low to the ground i wouldn’t care that much I don’t think but I just hate the thought it’s like having 0 control in anything that will and would happen and I hate that but I’m aware it irrational but when I think about planes and going in one my heart beats faster and I feel that adrenaline to run away but I can’t in a plane like bruh it’s so bad

I used to be afraid of flying just before flying to Vietnam last week. I can personally say that turbulence is quite nice. I actually helped my sleep

I’m not afraid of dying in a plane crash, I’m afraid of surviving one.

I have to say that is the stupidiest phobia to have, and I still have it for all these years. And I have this and bothers me a lot that I can’t overcome it. But this guy, has given me a lot of hope!

This helped loads I need this guy as my pilot XD

Limited amount of adrenaline say that to people with anxiety disorders

I am going to Japan in a few days so hopefully this will help at least a little

I’m sorry but turbulence feels like I’m on a roller coaster that I didn’t sign up for. I don’t enjoy it. It’s the cost of seeing loved ones even thought my body revolts. That’s how much I love them.

I love going up but hate coming down lol and I have a massive turbulence anxiety it's the lack of control he talks about ...

If this man was my pilot I would never be scared of flying again

"This is your captain speaking. Keep your fingers crossed."

I definitely get uneasy flying but it isn’t bad enough to keep my from flying. Every once in a while I have to take a little Xanax if I’m feeling too anxious and it’s usually only bc I make such a big deal out of it. I’ve had terrible turbulence before, so bad people started screaming, and I had taken a Xanax before hand (thank god) and since I wasn’t freaking out it really put things into perspective for me. Either way, Xanax or not, we were never in any danger. So really it comes down to just relaxing and enjoying the flying for what it is. It’s not dangerous and usually you’re going somewhere fun.

The more I watch videos more my fear of flying diminishes.

I'm not afraid of the dying or the actual crash if it ever happened. I am afraid of the feeling of going down before the crash. I loathe rollercoasters too. That horrible feeling of falling - the worst.

Claustrophobia that's how I felt with my first flight experience last April. Had sweaty cold palms. I did the breathing, talk to my mother who's beside me to distract my anxious mind and let her massage my palms. And thank God never had it again with my return flight. Will be flying again this month and I hope and pray this will never happen again. I just want to enjoy my flight like others😔

I'm going to Japan around late February next year 😄😄😄😆😆😆😄😄😄

10.30.2023 God bless him. Thank you sir for this video 😊

thank you for this, thank you.

Starts at 2:43

Thanks

Thats right net geo air crash investigation program made me fear of flying and still im unable to get of this fear before i was lover of fly but now its hard to control your negative fearfull thoughts during flying.

It’s turbulence that’s scary, especially when it’s more than just minor bumps but sustained rocking in three dimensions. The best/worst part are the sudden drops. Yes, the actual drop is minor and this is a trick of the brain, but still feels like riding a roller coaster blindfolded. And let’s not get into flying through storms or over mountains, where it really gets choppy. No, I don’t think there’s anything you can do about that. If you’re afraid of roller coasters then you’ll be afraid of flying, and that’s that. It can’t be helped. I speak from experience as one who has tried all of these solutions, from education and positive thinking to booze and Dramamine. None of them work for me. Oh, well.

I’m flying in two days. I’m 11. I’ve been on two aeroplanes, to somewhere, back too. On the way back there was turbulence, and I. Felt. Like. I. Was. About. To. Die. It was so scary. :/ I have to go on to flight to my holiday on Saturday, because I have to stop somewhere and then go in another aeroplane. I have a fear of heights very badly. But I really would like to get over my fear. :(

His last night name is perfect

You are awesome captain 👍 thanks

When I was younger I loved flying, and still do today and want to become a pilot as a pass my school exams over time but I had a period around year 6 (grade 7) where I watched Air Crash investigations regularly and then soon later I was in a jet where there was a minor problem I'm not sure what it was but the pilot got a caution warning and this would usually not be too much of worry but because I was watching Air Crash Investigation in the year often I was quite scared. This gave me a minor worry in all flights especially when winter came and a few icing problems came up including one close call to a disaster which I was not on. This was a few years ago and I've over come this fear I ever had and never watched Air Crash investigation and gone back to my younger self and yearning to become a pilot. While you may find the program interesting and cool as I did, if you are ever put into a situation of any problem on a plane you will over react and worry horribly, trust me.

flying is a lot of fun and I was video taping it when I flew from Chicago to San Diego in September. Maybe if you see my videos you wont feel afraid....or not. Its nothing to be afraid of we are all safe inside the plane away from the outside. And i trust the pilots and I think its that trust that makes me feel very secure. Plus I see southwest planes flying past my house and over my house and so when I flew southwest for the first time it was fun to be on the other side and I wasn't afraid because i knew that i see them all the time and they never crash. I have flown many times i just flew southwest for the first time in September.

I’m listening on a plane. This is helping me so much.

He just mentioned my fears to the T

The thing with me is I will have a massive freak out during takeoff and I’m crying and squeezing my moms hand and I try not to move at all for the first 20 minutes cuz I feel like if I do something bad will happen and then after that I will be fine and I LOVE landing but when we land I try to look out the window just so I know the plane isn’t going so fast that something bad will happen

I am an uneasy flier and I have found the smaller the plane the worst the fear gets. Lately, I have started reminding myself of all the more likely things which can happen to me on the ground which can't really happen in the air; Getting killed by a wild animal, hit by a car or bus, shot or stabbed, falling down stairs, hit by falling objects to name a few things. Airplanes, for western standard airlines anyway, provided incredibly controlled spaces where there are hundreds of parts and systems working to keep me safe. That plus the highly skilled pilots.

Personally, my fear is being in a fatal plane crash and I would have a panic attack. I have never had this feeling until social media made my fear worse. Landing is the most amazing feeling of relief and excitement

Leave it to Captain Allright to tell us everything is Alright.

she looks like tia/tamera mowry

How do I get information about the course he's offering I have a fear of flying

there have any medication to feel relax during flight,,, I'm so scared ,,,

2:37

I'm not afraid of crashing, I don't like being that high up. Being high on the ground is cool, but be intensive thousands of feet in the air is unsettling

I have terrible fear of flying and my anxiety gets highened during landing. I feel lott helpless..

I would actually say that plane crash victims get the respect they deserve while victims of other crashes get too little respect. Imagine if everyone committed to driving more safely every time there was a fatal car crash.

Use this if you don't crash on the way to the airport there no chance your gonna crash on the plane

I use to have a phobia of flying, but after watching documentaries and air crash investigation I know want to pursue a job in flying.
