Hope this helps a bit.

I did have a question that maybe someone has the answer to...when flying over water, I've always had this idea that you're in the middle of nowhere with no land nearby. I know that pilots are always in contact with the control tower, but when flying over water (such as the atlantic) do they fly certain distances from land so that if there was a problem they could land? I'm not sure if I'm phrasing this correctly. I believe I heard someone once say that pilots always flew a certain distance from any part of land when flying over water, but they could have been wrong. Thanks to anyone who knows the answer! ]]> feeds@kickapps.com (Alex) http://fearofflyingmessageboard.com/sreply/7167 Sun, 05 Jul 2009 17:01:07 PST http://fearofflyingmessageboard.com/reply/7135/t/Ireland-anyone-.html#reply-7135
Not sure if this would be the case for anyone else, but if nothing else knowing this is possible (i.e. you won't necessarily by panicked but possibly calmed instead) might help some anticipatory anxiety!

The way people escape once on the plane is to try to block out awareness. That is a form of distancing - or dissociation - from a "problem". Where doesn't that work? On takeoff and in turbulence.

This is nothing more than an inability to keep something out of mind. Turbulence is too intrusive.

And there is no way to get a handle on this other than to build inside yourself the emotional strength to regulate feelings.

If you want more emotional strength, get "Complete Relief" at www.fearofflying.com/relief/ That trains you mind... ]]> feeds@kickapps.com (Capt Tom Bunn MSW LCSW) http://fearofflyingmessageboard.com/sreply/7121 Tue, 23 Jun 2009 08:19:45 PST http://fearofflyingmessageboard.com/reply/7120/t/Ireland-anyone-.html#reply-7120 feeds@kickapps.com (Alex) http://fearofflyingmessageboard.com/sreply/7120 Tue, 23 Jun 2009 06:27:38 PST http://fearofflyingmessageboard.com/reply/7108/t/Ireland-anyone-.html#reply-7108 feeds@kickapps.com (janeflyingagain) http://fearofflyingmessageboard.com/sreply/7108 Sun, 21 Jun 2009 18:43:47 PST http://fearofflyingmessageboard.com/reply/7104/t/Ireland-anyone-.html#reply-7104 thank you again! ]]> feeds@kickapps.com (Alex) http://fearofflyingmessageboard.com/sreply/7104 Sun, 21 Jun 2009 13:03:19 PST http://fearofflyingmessageboard.com/reply/7084/t/Ireland-anyone-.html#reply-7084 ]]> feeds@kickapps.com (Liv) http://fearofflyingmessageboard.com/sreply/7084 Thu, 18 Jun 2009 14:19:29 PST http://fearofflyingmessageboard.com/reply/7060/t/Ireland-anyone-.html#reply-7060
We're supposed to be taking a night flight...any better with the turbulence? Turbulence is my biggest fear...I actually don't mind flying, except for the bumpiness. ]]> feeds@kickapps.com (Alex) http://fearofflyingmessageboard.com/sreply/7060 Tue, 16 Jun 2009 06:21:54 PST http://fearofflyingmessageboard.com/reply/7057/t/Ireland-anyone-.html#reply-7057
As I've written elsewhere on these boards, I have SOAR to thank for my ability to get on a plane, happily and (relatively) calmly, with my two kids. I am a walking advert for how well SOAR works because I used to sob--literally--during boarding. It was embarrassing. I even chose not to fly, once, out of fear. : (

That's not to say that sometimes I don't have an occasional set-back, an occasional bout of mild panic, but I have many miles post-SOAR (China, Japan, around the US).

Thanks, Captain Tom, for the info on turbulence en route.

Anyone ever flown Aer Lingus, by the way??
