Fear of Flying Session
Fear of Flying Session
Fear of flying is responsible for ruining countless family holidays, restricting career opportunities, and turning what for many is a pleasurable experience into a feat of hellish endurance!
Virtual Aerospace fear of flying course is conducted 1 to 1 with a real commercial pilot inside one of our professional flight simulators. Our goal during the session is to fully explore what aspect of fear you might have, lack of control, fear of turbulance or claustrophobia plus many other potential triggers by inviting you to join a short virtual flight in the cockpit of a very realistic feeling flight simulator. You will learn exactly what pilots do, how safe these machines really are and start to better understand the mechanics of airline flying.
"Four guys just had a fantastic couple of hours on this simulator. It really gets you hooked and gets the ticker going ..! Well worth it and got to say Jamie the pilot was very helpful with loads of patience (as was the receptionist) ..!! Great experience, will return sometime."

Product Description
AS REAL AS IT GETS WITHOUT LEAVING THE GROUND!
The Virtual Aerospace Fear Of Flying session is quite different from many of the large group type courses ran by the airlines, at Virtual Aerospace you are 1 to 1 with an airline pilot creating a much more relaxed and personal environment and one where you set the pace, we encourage you to ask as many questions as you want and at any time during the flight.
By using a state of the art flight simulator we are able to replicate most of the sensations involved in a normal airline flight, our simulators have a small cabin section so upon boarding the simulator you really do feel like you have got into a real aircraft.
Whats involved in a typical session?
- When arrive at our reception you will be greeted by one of our operations staff who will show you to our briefing room
- You will then be introduced to your pilot for the day who will be an experienced commercial pilot able to answer any questions you have
- You will then spend up to an hour in a briefing where your pilot will learn more about you and your fear as well as talk to you about how aircraft fly.
- Its then off to the simulator, this is a complete replica of a real aircraft.
- You will then complete a short flight of approx 60 minutes where you can talk to your pilot at any time, some customers even decide to leave their passenger seat and sit next to the pilot and as their fear dissipates some even have a go at the controls!
- At the end of the flight its back to the briefing room for a debriefing, most people feel elated at this point having made an enormous leap in their understanding and control of their emotions.
The beginning of the end
Our flight simulators have helped many people if not enjoy, certainly able to cope with flying again. They are then able to go on holiday or travel the world without this terrible fear dominating. The techniques we employ have been developed over the past 5 years of running these sessions, they are highly effective and have worked for countless people before you.
“Unbelievable, interesting and completely engaging, being able to actually sit in the cockpit and ask questions during the simulated flight i not only felt more comfortable, i actually enjoyed myself. This is so realistic you will totally forget you are not on a real aircraft. Mrs P Shields, Guilford”
“I booked my course 1 week before i was due to go on my first holiday in 10 years, i was utterly terrified and fully prepared to not even get into the simulator which looked exactly like a real aircraft, it even smelled real. However after the door was closed i found i had to keep reminding myself that i was still on the ground and that it wasn’t real. It took me a further 15 minutes to completely calm down, something i find impossible on a real aircraft and being able to ask questions directly to the captain made all the difference. This experience has given me an enormous sense of achievement. During my real flight i told myself i was just in the simulator and within 15 minutes i felt calm enough to watch a film – upon landing i was overwhelmed having got over my fear and during the flight back i even enjoyed it a little. Everybody with a severe fear of flying or in my case anything to do with aircraft should do this course it has literally changed my life Mr Varley, Essex”

30 minute Alpine Challenge!
Lined up at Salzburg on runway 1.6 it’s throttles forward as you thunder down the runway ready for this flight of a lifetime! A Steep climb to avoid the foothills of the Alps, and then levelling off at 15,000 ft you set course to the west where on route you can practice some general handling skills to get the feel of the aircraft. As you close in on Switzerland, the foothills turn into mountains and gradually get higher and higher, and it’s not long before you start your approach into the famous Innsbruck airport.
As you descend into the valley you will ha ave 9,500 ft mountain to your right and a 14,500 ft mountain to your left, and once you’ve descended into the valley there is no escape so precision is key!
Approximately 5 miles before you reach Innsbruck the craziness really begins! Real world procedures call for you to turn left towards a mountain, you will then turn parallel to the airport flying as close to the mountain as you dare! At the very end of the valley it’s a steep continuous right turn, and with no time to line up you must land on runway 0.8. Too short and you are in the river, too long and you are in the middle of the town! This approach is so difficult that in the real world even experienced Airline Captains undertake a course to be able to land here! But today it’s just you with a little help from your expert instructor!
