Earlier, I posted about how I wanted to fly an airplane. A recap: I wanted to learn how to fly in order for me to conquer my fear of flying.
Anyway, I realized that in spite of all the safety measures and precautions conducted by the airline officers and owners, there are still a growing number of people who are having a hard time in overcoming fear of flying. Experts say that this panic may stem from the person’s inferior experience in the course of one of his or her flights. Studies show that many that have developed fear of flying are the ones who are used to travel via plane before. This is because of the frequency; it is inevitable for them to experience a bad occurrence at some point. These bad experiences may include prolonged or heavy turbulence that is caused by natural phenomenon such as bad weather or an aborted flight wherein the airplane needs to take an emergency landing that is usually caused by mechanical failures.
Another reason for this fear is the person is exposed too much on media coverage on various tragic accidents in the air which instill a fear for his or her life. Studies show that people who have witnessed an extensive coverage of an aerial accident are prone to having Aviophobia sooner or later.
So, what do you think?
