    About this ebook

    The author John Leahy has been flying since 1964. He has 34 years experience as a pilot with British Airways where he concluded his career as Chief Pilot on the 747 – the Jumbo Jet. He also served for a time, as a test pilot for BA at Boeing in Seattle. Currently, John is an aviation safety consultant and audits a leading European airline. He is a co-founder of FlightCoach.com

    This book aims to help anxious passengers overcome their fear of flying by providing them with an in-depth understanding of exactly what's happening during a typical flight. It covers everything from before you even book a flight, through to boarding, takeoff, turbulence and landing.

    Not all airlines are the same in terms of safety – which really does come as a surprise to many. How can you determine which airline to choose? Flight Coach addresses this area and provides essential information to help alleviate anxiety or apprehension amongst passengers and turn flying into a pleasant and exciting experience.

      INTRODUCTION

      My name is John Leahy. A few years ago, I retired as a Chief Pilot with British Airways. I also served as a test-pilot on behalf of BA, at Boeing Airplane Company in Seattle. During my 34 year career, I flew most of the Boeings, from the venerable 707 in the sixties, to the 747 - the Jumbo Jet. I'm currently an aviation auditor and consultant. One of my tasks is to observe and audit the training of pilots carried out by a leading European airline.

      Over the years I have always been aware that many passengers suffer from apprehension related to flying. It ranges from mild anxiety, to a state of emotional fear and to panic attacks. It can mean that you do fly, but dislike the experience or in the worst case can't fly at all. Is this something you have ever suffered from? If so, you are most welcome to FlightCoach.com, your guide to what's going on before, and during your flight experience to ease anxiety and banish fear by putting you back in control!

      We start with our Pre-Flight Briefing; what you should know before you even book your flight. Then we have a chapter called Doors Closing and a chapter on Take-off. If you are concerned about Turbulence, it is comprehensively dealt with in the next chapter, and the presentation concludes with a chapter on Descent & Landing.

      The answers to some of your Frequently Asked Questions are provided at the end of this book, and many more can be found on our website Flightcoach.com.

      So let's move on to chapter one - I know you'll be looking forward to getting started!

      Chapter 1 - PRE-FLIGHT BRIEFING

      There you are, planning that journey and ready to book on-line, but for you this isn't fun, and already you are becoming concerned. So, what can you do to improve matters at this early stage? First of all, there's your choice of airline. It may surprise you, but not all airlines are the same. There is a
