You have to be CRAZY to fly an airplane! I was watching this show on TV called "The Bachelor"... he was a pilot..flies airplanes... he's a commercial pilot.. he has a 'fear of heights'. Flying in an airplane does not trigger a fear of heights, and a fear of heights is just as common among pilots as it is in the general population. A pilot might feel anxious standing at the top of the stairs while getting on or off his airplane, but he won't feel that way in the cockpit. The same is true for passengers with a fear of heights. The notion that a fear of heights can interfere with the ability to work as a pilot is a misconception. A fear of heights is usually a translated fear of falling, and you cannot fall when you are securely inside an airplane. |
