Burbank flyer asks for help
I've been around the world, but have developed a fear of flying.
Anyone at a nearby airport willing to let me do a process on a jet? Or know of anyone that might be willing to let me do such? Maybe a cargo carrier would be more agreeable to the idea. Thanks for your help. |
It depends on what is specifically involved in the "process". Due to TSA rules, you won't have access to a commercial aircraft unless you are a ticketed passenger. Cargo airlines are even more restrictive due to ramp access. Private aircraft offer a possibility as access is somewhat relaxed.

Thanks HSLD. My problem is that I get a ticket and get on the jet, but as I start to walk down the tunnel to getting on the plane I start panicking and by the time I get to my seat I have a terrible panic attack and leave the plane before they close the door.
Maybe I should contact a private jet company and see if they would allow such. |

On another note, you may or may not be familiar with this, but there is a site forum totally devoted to fear of flying, check it out as it may provide more precise help, although we would be happy to answer any questions for you: Taking Flight - Fear of Flying Support - Powered by vBulletin |
Hi HSLD,
Thanks for the compliments on the train pic. Not only was it a great location, but those two were so in love it just radiates out of the image. The process is called, 'reach and withdraw', where I reach for some part of the plane and then withdraw from it. Its a rote process done until I blow through all of the psycho- somatic non-sense and can be there comfortably. My problem is emotional , it has nothing to do with the analytical mind. I studied engineering ( aerospace ) and my father designed aircraft- stress analysis. I've endured countless lectures on design, safety stats, engine performance- from the Rolls Royce to the GE on down the line, how the tested strength is double what is needed, and so on etc... When I fly or have flown with my father, I get a narration of everything, so I pretty much know already what is going on and when. But thanks for the idea. |

Are there any underlining issues that might be causing this? Claustrophobia is very much a leading cause I have found. Usually once a month or two a pax will request to get off due to this. Have you been able to fly in the past or had a bad experience in an aircraft that might trigger the panic attack?

A private biz jet sounds like the ticket as what I need to do is be in and around the jet and not flying.
I'll try to find one of those companies around Burbank airport, or maybe Whitman airport. |

Thanks for the advice , but I've already been to the fear of flying forums and those haven't helped. I even paid a huge amount of money to an online shrink to help me, but she didn't really help me. On my last flight I panicked and got off.
