Scared of flying? This book could be your passport to freedom. Filled with facts about aircraft and safety, I can guarantee that once you read this you’ll be booking that dream holiday to Barbados before you know it!
This book describes everything you need to know to quash your fears; from take-off to touchdown to the facts behind turbulence. Have you ever wondered what fuel dumping is? Pondered how the aircraft stays up in the air? Wanted to know why the flaps are put on at take-off and landing? More importantly, what happens if an engine stops? How do you know what height to climb to? Find out why the crew goes through the ‘emergency’ drill on every flight, even though it’s rarely needed.
Rest assured that you’re in good hands – Captain Godfrey has over 20,000 flying hours and was CAA examiner for flight tests and training for British Airways. He qualified as a glider pilot just one day after his 16th birthday and held his private pilot’s license by the age of 18. At 20 was the youngest person ever to have held a flying instructors rating in the UK. He’s now retired and devotes his time helping others to overcome their fear of flying.
Phobias can strike at any time and it’s nothing to be ashamed of. Don’t let your fears hold you back and ruin your life; grab the bull by the horns and start by reading this book. Remember that you’re not the only one and hundreds of other people have overcome their fear of flying by taking onboard the advice of Captain Godfrey.
Start slowly – your first flight after reading this book should be a short one. Consider a flight to Belfast which, from most UK airports only takes about an hour. Once you’ve managed that (and with the help of this book, you will!) you’ll wish you read it years ago.
