Overcome Your Fear of Flying with a Helicopter Tour
Suffering from a fear of flying in Montana? You’re not alone. From coast to coast, more than 20 million Americans find themselves overcome by anxiety from the mere thought of flying on a jumbo airliner 30,000 or more feet in the air. Fortunately, there are steps you can take to diminish the nerves that accompany a flight.
Get educated
It’s one thing to hear someone say that flying is the safest form of travel. It’s quite another to know it for yourself. That’s why the most critical step in overcoming your fear of flying in Montana is to read articles and books that explain how flight works and why it is, indeed, the safest way to get around.
Turbulence is no big deal
The cabin of a plane or helicopter violently shaking as you fly through the air is enough to unsettle even the most comfortable flyer. Of course, once you understand why turbulence happens, and you discover that planes and helicopters are built to withstand it, a little bit of shaking isn’t so scary.
Take a flight lesson
It may seem like lunacy to get behind the wheel of an airplane or helicopter when you’re terrified of sitting in a passenger seat. Still, it’s a proven fact that having your hands at the controls of a plane could help you get more comfortable with the concept of flight as a whole.
Talk to the pilot
Taking a commercial flight? Think about visiting the cockpit to talk to the pilots. Taking a helicopter tour? Feel free to pepper the pilot with questions before (and after) you take flight. Most experts are more than willing to share some industry knowledge to help soothe the nerves of a troubled passenger.
Medicate
As a last resort, you might consider some pharmaceutical help before a big flight. Low-grade sedatives can help anxious flyers overcome the noise and movement of a plane and help them enjoy the travel experience that much more.
