Graduate of the Air Force Academy and completing a tour in Vietnam, and internationally recognized fear of flying expert, Captain Ron Nielsen accumulated over 20,000 hours during his career as a commercial pilot flying a Boeing 737. He has designed and delivered programs to reduce the likelihood of aviation accidents due to human error and in the first half, discussed ways that nervous flyers can calm their anxiety and enjoy air travel. Since developing a program to help nervous flyers 32 years ago, Nielsen has concluded that at least 25% of passengers are scared when they fly. The reason it’s not noticeable, he said, is that "we internalize it" and "just don’t let on" to others because we don’t want to feel like we are the only ones.
Nielsen said he has never really been scared while flying an airplane because he said "you do what you’ve been trained to do" in unexpected situations. He said that as a passenger, a great deal of the anxiety comes from three areas of the flight: takeoff, turbulence, and aborted landings. To allay these concerns, Nielsen believes that "the ultimate cure is to change the way you think," and to replace "myths with facts." He cited the statistic of 105,000 takeoffs and landings every day all over the world with very few incidents and pointed out that, the few stories that do make the news is "because it’s unusual." He concluded that the underlying principle of his method is that "the quality of our life is not determined by the circumstances, it’s how we think about it."
