Nerves/Confidence
Asked by: Jflyinpc12 2064 views Flight Instructor, General Aviation, Instrument Rating, Private Pilot, Student Pilot
Good afternoon,
My question is how do you get over the nerves of flying? I am a Private Pilot with 273 hours. I do want to move forward with my flying career but the psychology of flying is getting to me. Is this a lack of confidence or just fear. I waited until late in life to start my flying. I have been in aviation for over 25 years and have always wanted to be a pilot. Within that amount of time I have lost several friends to aircraft accidents. I think this is my biggest problem right now. Is there anyway to get this out of my head permanently?
Thank you,
John
