LATEST COURSE DATE ANNOUNCED - London Heathrow - Saturday 1st February →
Fear of flying courses from the British Airways™ Flying With Confidence team

Ground only course

Our “ground only” course covers all of the same information as our other courses such as turbulence, pilot training and much more, along with some psychological help to understand “fight or flight” and how to reduce your anxiety leading up to and during a flight. Not having a flight at the end of the day allows you to focus on all the information without the distraction of worrying.

  • Ground only course - fear of flying courses from Flying With Confidence

    About our Ground only course

    Our ground only course is run by British Airways Captain Steve Allright and his team. This course will explain in detail the technical side of aviation including all the unusual noises and sensations you experience in an aircraft. We also cover the psychological aspect of the phobia and provide invaluable relaxation techniques to help you break in to your anxiety.

    This ground only course allows you to focus on the key information you'll learn from our experienced team, without the worry of a flight at the end of the day.
