   In the Comfort of Your Home

 

     I receive weekly requests from individuals for information about fear of flying programs in their respective geographic areas.  They are individuals looking for a classroom environment with which to study and learn about themselves and the airplanes they fear.  Since there are so few formal fear of flying programs available, this is very difficult to provide,  We are, in fact, working on that problem at the Institute for Human Factors.  Until then, however, the videos we have prepared offer the next best alternative to the live class - because these videos are a complete reproduction of the class that we have taught at General Mitchell International Airport for the last 14 years.  If you know other fearful flyers, and most often you will, you can even create more of a classroom environment by viewing the videos together - with discussion at the completion of each major subject.

 

Two Levels of Coverage

 

     You can choose from two different levels of video coverage.  Each video program includes the complete book and a final examination.

 

The Book and Virtual Flight Program requires a complete reading of the book, "Flying in the Comfort Zone:  Twelve Lessons ...".  After you have read the book, insert the tape into your VCR for Dr. Tomaro's lecture on Flight Safety and the Safety of Flight, followed by a one hour Virtual Reality flight.  Filmed from the viewpoint of an aircraft passenger, this video helps the fearful flyer anticipate many of the common movements of the aircraft.  Its uniqueness is that it is completely bonded to the class instruction and the book.  Take the Final Examination after you have completed the video and, if your grade is high enough, you are ready to try flying for real.  See the complete description for more information.

 

The Complete Video Seminar is our most comprehensive program.  While all of our other material is based upon the program at General Mitchell International Airport, This program exactly reproduces the program at General Mitchell.  You receive the book, a classroom workbook from which you study as you watch the 7 1/2 hour video (3 VCR cassettes) and the final examination.  With a workbook full of homework, if you complete this program according to design, you will be ready for a trip to the airport.  If you are not quite ready after this course, you will know exactly what to ask for when you visit a local professional.
