The challenge with a nervous flyer is that when the chances of dying in a plane crash are 1 in 5.5 million the nervous flyer ALWAYS thinks their flight will be that “1” 😬😆
thats literally what im dealing with right now 😭 im so scared
True. I fly every year several times due to work and every time I feel the same
@@maddybailey6807 same here. I got sick from panic attack from school so I need to go home which I can only do with flying. Something that adds to my anxiety
Same here. Even if there’s a problem with the flight, the chances of it ending in a huge crash is sooooo unlikely
🤣 comment of the day!
One thing i say is go stand at the end of a runway where you can see passenger planes landing... and say "theres another one that made it......and another one..... and another one...."
thats wha i do
Okay DJ Kali!!!!!!! "lol"
Well, you can't count the ones that didn't make it... since they'll never reach the runway
I really wish when we hit severe turbulence the pilot would come on and say everything was OK.
that would probably become annoying to the pilot tbh
@@Random_Person1023 and? Plenty of things in my job annoy me. Doesn’t mean I shouldn’t do them.
I agree with you. It can be disconcerting to be in turbulence, and no announcement from pilot. The last three flights the pilots did not even have a welcome announcement before takeoff.
My suggestion is that you put your seat back and let the motion rock you to sleep.
@Paul Kostiak - I have to agree with you but it doesn't make me any less nervous.
How to overcome fear of flying? That’s easy. Sit beside you on the flight and just stare at you!
Exactly 🤗
Yeah, I think my fear would subside quite a bit lol
Me tooo!
Lmaoooo
I know right? I'm thinking "Why is this guy wasting his life flying terrifying planes all day when he could be making millions in Hollywood?" LMAO
The fear of plane crashes most people have is the whole falling out of the sky part.
I’ve never been scared of flying until I had my little boy! The lack of control I have to be able to keep him safe if something were to go wrong terrifies me! I’ve just came back of a flight 2 days ago & the entire time I felt I couldn’t breathe! This video has helped a bit, so thank you
Hddg
Dcgb
This is literally me now
Same
same!
I feel like hearing "95% of plane crash victims survive" immediately cured by fears!!!!!
this stat has to be wrong
It is wrong!!! Every commercial airline crash, all you hear is all souls died on board! It’s such bullshit. Plane goes down your either going to die from impact or fire. Prove me wrong!!
@UCm6p98zV7d8T48jh9nyQqww can you shut the fuck up? This is a comment section literally filled with people who are SCARED of flying. What's the point of your idiotic comment? To make them more scared? Besides, it's a true stat
@@nexhi991 it is a true Stat, the media doesn't cover crashes where people survive buddy.
I definitely did not! Lol
Every time I fly I'm so scared and always flying alone. When the plane Lands I always thank pilots for landing safely. I admire pilots so much they are so smart!!! Thank you Garrett !!! U r a great nice guy.
Ask Shaina
I always thank the flight attendants and pilot when I leave the plane. They do an awesome job!
The thing that scares me the most about flying is that the people in an aircraft accident also thought it was improbable.
What
exactly!
It's like I tell people, I'm more nervous driving to the airport, than when I'm in the air! Another great video, Garrett!
Another superb vid. Will return to it when I fly next, as I do get nervous. More like this please!
I’ve been flying for many times and I really love planes, but I still have to watch like your video to help me boost my trust towards the crew and pilots. Your video is so helpful!
Thank you. I was afraid of flying until I saw this video, you really made me feel like flying is safer than sit on my balcony and drink orange juice. Helped a lot.
I’ve always been a nervous flyer although I absolutely love flying at the same time. On my third flight experience going to Finland when I was 10 yrs old, I got to go up to the cockpit, speak with the pilots, I was asking questions, I got to sit in the pilots lap and even hold onto the steering wheel.
I asked the captain what would he do if the plane crashes, he replied ‘first I would save you and then I’d quit my job’. That really warmed me up nice, then he gave me a bottle of lemonade and a bag of chips. 🥰❤️🙏🏼😍🥰 that really helped calm me down, although I was still jittery in my seat sitting by the window lol. I will always remember that experience.
Thank you to the beautiful pilots looking after us on your flights and knowing how to keep us calm and informed of everything. God bless you all xoxo. 🙏🏼❤️🥰😍🥰🎉❤️🛫✈️🛩
Thank you for this great video. Definitely helped me get closer to feeling better about flying. Loved the fun facts of "better chances"!
Hi Captain Garrett. I'm work in the airline business as well and have a young daughter who suffers from fear of flying. Your videos are helping her so thank you very much! Greatly appreciated.
Thanks, I love hearing a friendly pilot on a flight. It makes me feel so much calmer. I could hug them when we land safely 🤗
I literally physically cannot hear anything he is saying because he is too attractive. I am no longer afraid of whatever we're talking about, thank you.
Lol he's gorgeous
Thank you sir. Your confidence in this subject alone has helped me.
When I flew for the first time recently, I literally wish you were sitting by me to help bc I was breaking down every five seconds crying 😭I was so scared.
I’m sorry. 😢I hope it’s better next time. Did someone help you?
That would be me but a lot worse I orbs would kick of and that's why I don't want to get on a plane don't want to upset or stress anyone else out and I don't want to upset passengers either but I want to go abroad makes me so sad there is fear of flying courses u can go then its expensive but worth it to conquer are fears I'm saving up for mine for next year I hope I can do it I'm guna try u should do the same xx
Flying planes is just like riding on a roller coaster
@@reiner5593 the hell
@@deeanna8448 I was the same way except I never had a break with the sobbing, trembling and hyperventilating. EVERY inch of the way. Thank God the young lady sitting next to me held my sweaty hand and kept conversation going with me! I had round trip tickets and ended up taking the bus back home. (Daytona Beach FL to Indianapolis home)
Definitely a new subscriber and it’s my first time saying this! Stats were amazing soooo helpful...thank you so much!
Thx for making these videos about pilots! Also, you're the most handsome pilot I've ever seen :)
Great video Garrett well done,I love to fly and always have but I do know some passengers still have some fear your video does help to instill confidence in the traverler.I would be honored to fly on one of your flights sometime hope you will enjoy a great summer take care!
I’ve recently taken up flying to various places as a passenger and I must admit the odd fear especially of turbulence does get to me. However with such reassurance from pilots like you Garrett, I’m taking comfort all will be well. So thank you for these videos. I’m following you now 🙌🙌🙌👍🍾🥂
Hey Garrett, nice channel! Lookin forward to hearing more insight! And I’m not a math guy either, why I didn’t decide to drive the bus!! Haha kidding of corse. But thanks for a new interesting Chanel. Will keep checking back for more aviation content and what have you. Also, good luck on that check ride!
Those statistics really helped! Thanks for taking the time for this.
Loved the video Garrett. Thank you so much for sharing this valuable information. Stay safe. Be blessed. God bless and protect you always. Kisses and Blessings for you🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
@flywithgarrett..I've been meaning to look this video up for a while now to Thank You ! This video taught me so much and really helped me fly again. After 15 years of not flying, I'm happy to report that I already took over 10 flights in a matter of a few years with no anxiety at all! NY to Mexico, Florida 3 times, San Francisco twice. Planning on a few more flights this year and years to come! I cant wait! Thanks again for getting my flying life back on track!!
I'll take all the knowledge I can get on this subject. Fascinating. We flew in the contrail of a plane in front of us en route to HNL. Thought we should have felt some bit of turbulence but there was none. Another time landing in HNL, hard landing produced broken hydraulic line. We had to be towed from the active runway.
I love to fly. Last year my granddaughter went on her 1st flight, and she loved it too!
Awesome and very informative video! We all know your safer in the air than on the ground!
Thank you, Garrett!!!!
I remember the brave Pilot Sully landing on the Hudson River.
You guys are amazing ❤. Thank you for flying us safe.
Thank you Garret for this great video. I love to travel. Just landed last night from Europe to Bali. But I never enjoy flying. And during my flight yesterday, I have decided to looks for information about safety of air plane to heal my fear of flying. And as an engineer, finding this video really help me a lot to understand. I think my next traveling will be more fun. Thank you so much. And God bless you :)
very informative Need more pilots like you that will make announcements from cockpit with specific facts and whats happening. I few with my Dad man many times in family 6 passenger plane so we were acquainted with many facts and also hearing stories on the ground..............I am glad I found your channel Garrett. Maybe what it is like to go thru a storm with some pics and what is happening up front to avoid it.
Huge sigh of relief! Thank you!
Great 👍 vlog as always great to hear so much knowledge facts and figures x
glad you liked it :)
Hi Garrett, thanks for this. Really helped with my flight anxiety. I have now subscribed!
Thank you Garret for this. Im flying to use Aeromexico to go back home in Houston Texas, this video helped me a lot with knowledge tips.
i’m always a bit anxious when boarding. but having music really helps. i put on a good playlist or watch a movie and i’m good. it also helps me to get a window seat and watch below as we’re flying. i hate when i can’t get a window seat and the people in the window seat close the window!! i panic when i can’t see outside
It's such a visceral fear...I have nightmares about flying multiple times a month. I didn't have this fear until I turned 21, and I have no clue why. Before, I flew weekly between Toronto and New York. I flew all around Europe, to Australia, to Cuba, to New Zealand, around the US and Canada...but now I've not flown in 9 years. I have to fly soon and I'm terrified.
Me too! I used to find flying relaxing and luxurious - sit back, discover new music, sleep, watch movies, have some food and beer. Now - It’s Do or Die - I feel claustrophobic, fear of heights, fear that someone will have a meltdown on the plane, I will have panic attack and become disoriented.
how did it go`?@@kriksizanderson5471
Same, I flew hundreds of times and now it's been nearly 40 years. I absolutely refuse to do it but I do have an actual reason. I was on a flight from Phoenix to Chicago that had to make a very rough emergency landing in Denver due to mechanical issues. I absolutely refused to get on another plane after that. I rented a car and drove 15 hours to Chicago and never flew again. I refuse to fly for any reason whatsoever.
@@juliery63 I had one really bad flight as well..I think what must happen is that the idea of being in a metal tube at 30,000 ft with like 200 other ppl and all of you are waiting to die and knowing you WILL die for five minutes of sheer terror is probably one of the worst things ever. The anticipation of death…the existential horror…😢 not fun. But I started watching mayday episodes and that kinda helped me realize that there is a chance
@@anovosedlik I have tried to watch so many different vids, from mayday type to watching cockpit vids of perfectly normal flights and I can't even tell you the anxiety I feel, I feel physically sick to my stomach and like I'm about to have a heart attack. Like watching a take off and just seeing the angle of the plane, I can't stand it. Just hearing the insane weight and thinking of it plummeting toward the earth, ugh. I honestly don't even like to think about it. I know all the stats and the million reasons why my fear is irrational, which I'm well aware of all those things, but that doesn't change the terror I feel. I will happily spend the remainder of my life not flying in a tube tens of thousands of feet off the ground. My family wants me to visit them in Germany but I've been there many times when I did fly. If they want to see me they can come here. I'm not willing to be hysterical on a 12 hour flight, then HAVE to get on another hour flight AND have to do the same in reverse to get home. I can guarantee I would make every other person near me on that plane wish they'd never gotten on. I know myself well enough to know I would totally freak out. I'm not putting myself or anyone else through that when it's not necessary.
So much good info and facts on flying! I really want to fly and explore the world! I want to be able to fly over the ocean with confidence.
Flying can take you to explore and see other way of living. When you look at one part of the world with perspective to be in the air you realize that in the end we all share the same planet .
This video helped me so so so much! I love this guy now
I am taking my first flight in 15 years next week. I have avoided flying home to visit since I moved 3 years ago because I'm so scared. A lot of videos I've been watching just give the stats and it doesn't help. This was super insightful due to you explaining the safety of planes and the training of pilots. Thank you 😊
Since it’s been a year ago, did you catch up flights yet? Please let me know, Thanks 🙏
how was your flight
Would love to see more on this Garrett.
wow! thank you captain for encouraging me to fly freely. I really love traveling, but am really afraid of plane crashes. I watch a lot of plane crash videos and seeing the way a large number of people die in a crash has always scared me. especially knowing the fact that when a plane goes down, it bursts into flames in most cases.
Right. For me it's not so much the fear of flying, it's the fear of crashing/dying. I've only flown once. I had round trip tix and ended up taking a bus back home because it was so terrifying.
Hey. I'm new to your channel. I am taking my first flight this upcoming Friday on the
16th for my 23rd birthday. I'm excited!!! But I'm so anxious 🥴 I don't know if it's the being in the air for two hours or just my mind playing tricks on me. But after watching several videos about getting over that anxious feeling I feel better about it. And there's a God and he has me covered. So, thank you for easing my comfort some. ❤️🙏🏾
Hearing that 95% of people survive plane crashes has helped me so much. I knew I was safer on a plane but I always thought I had more chance of surviving a care crash and most likely would definitely die in plane crash as well as have a few mins to think about it witch is the worst part.
Thank you so much for sharing! I am always scared when I am on an airplane during turbulence, so scared.
Even if I know airplane is the safest transportation.
Yo don't have to thank me , I'm Glad I could help, you can reach me through WhatsApp +13372794123
Thank you sir!! I am a bit scared of flying, but not so much the issues mentioned here and in other videos, but rather general mechanical failure... the hydraulic lines to the aelerons and rudder burst, the landing gear doesn't come down, the mechanic forgot to tighten down the such-and-such bolts during maintenance, that kind of stuff
Really good video man. Thank you for the knowledge
Finally! 😍 Another amazing vid.
thanks!
Going up during takeoff is the most terrifying. It’s like being on a huge terrifying roller coaster. I can’t handle it.
Thank you for the video. Brilliant 👏 👏 👏
Thank you. You explained everything well.
I feel like instead of offering me nuts or pretzels on a flight I’d really appreciate a dose of Ativan with a shot of tequila. I’m flying next month and this fear of GOING DOWN is consuming MY SOUL!! .. is there like a junior pilots peewee club that I can join so I can sit with the pilots and get constant reassurance??😂
Ativan with a shot, love that
I know this is an older video, but I have a few questions for Captain Garrett or any other pilot that may read these questions. Here are my questions: 1. Can turbulence ever be so extreme that it can cause a loss of control of the aircraft? 2. Regarding engine failure, is there a common problem that causes engine failure and what happens if both engines fail during flight? Also, is a Pilot able to determine potential engine problems when taxing to the runway? 3. Can an aircraft land safely when the landing gear malfunctions and doesn't come down? 4. How often are aircrafts inspected and how thorough or those inspections? Thank you in advance for answers to those questions.
@חנן עקיבא Thank you so much! It does help!
Intresting video Garrett !
OMG Garrett I can't belive that you give me a heart 😛✌
Thank you for this video. You have no idea how many flights I have canceled due to fear of flying 😢
Much relieved after listening to this
I was a previous fan of 74gear and Mentor Pilot.............. Until my 'better half`' found your channel, for some reason she is watching you all the time (ha ha ha)
Great content mate
I'm managing my fear with two bottles of wine prior the flight! When in a smaller aircraft combine with windy weather .. three bottles needed
Very informative vlog ♡ Enjoyed it n yes no fear to fly ^^ ♡ Loved those fun facts ^^ ♡ Wow , didn't know is so important to let any aircraft to take a nap in between their work ^^ ♡ And loved the way u explained to us thro ur experience ♡
I love you bro. Thank you for this
Thank you so much for this vid really helped 😀😀😀
Awesomeeee!!
Awesome video!!!
Hello handsome captain 👨✈️
Informative and handsome!
I love flying and airplanes ✈️ I have the highest respect for pilots. I have been going to vintage air shows Flying cloud- to others for over 13 years yet the previous year it was very hot 🥵 inside the plane, 15 minutes as people loaded in bags etc it was overwhelming. Iv been doing acupressure, acupuncture, and Shiatsus;
My issue was other.
It’s wind shear , terbulance , air pockets and stalls that scare me
I have a huge fear of flying but I somehow love it at the same time
Thanks for the video it really helped and for anyone who fears flight try speaking to the pilot or even the cabin crew it really helps
Thank you for this!
Aw sweet hearts ♥️
Anything to do with heights leaves me jittery so unless you can fly at 10 feet I’ll probably always be nervous!
i'm so scared for tomorrow's flight but this made me slightly more calmer. really hope everything goes well
How'd it go? =) I got a flight in a couple of days and I'm dreading it.
@@JackHehe it went well and we landed smoothly and safely! I had headphones on all the time and tried falling asleep, but though I didn't fall asleep, it did calm me. good luck on your flight!
@@chaerihwi5117 Thanks, mine went great too. The smoothest flight I've ever had by far.
@@chaerihwi5117 thanks I will do the same
Got like a 10-11 hour flight throughout the entire night in July. Waiting is such an awful feeling. Wish me luck guys.
Number thing of been a pilot is been incredibly handsome like my man here 👏🏿👏🏿
Dude you are handsome menh, I’m not even insecure to say that 😂😂😂
Right? I could be doing other things I need I get done, and just listening to this, but I can’t stop looking!
WOW! Anyone else get lost in his eyes! Can't wait to watch the next fear of flying videos !!
Thank you for your support and positive vibes, you can always reach me through my mail address or my WhatsApp +13372794123

Two weeks ago, I had to fly to NC, for my FIL’s funeral. I’m terrified of flying - not because the plane may crash, but because I am apparently claustrophobic in airplanes. (Only airplanes, go figure.)
I hadn’t flown since 2009, so this was a big challenge for me.
I’m happy to report that, although the reason I had to fly was an incredibly sad one, I handled it much better than I thought it would.
I’m open to flying now. I’ll never like it (unless I’m the pilot, lol), but at least I know I can do it. 💪🏻💪🏻
Thanks for this video!!!
I am the one of them ,who afraid of flying😉. Thank you 🤗.
Definitely like and subscribe!
Merry Christmas and Happy New ! year
In order to complete the requirements for my Clinical Mental Health Counselor program, I'll have to fly to New Hampshire from Alabama. i've never been on a plane...that said, i don't fear the other passengers..i fear what might be in the cargo hold. I think i'm going to get some headphones and binge watch shows like these!
i think you're too honest... people with anxiety don't want to hear that occasionally and engine will fail! Just say all the good stuff.... it's the 0.1% of crap that can happen that we focus on!
lol right? My take of the video "so planes do go down sometimes?!"
as someone scared shitless, I 100% disagree. I don't want to be bullshited. I am paranoid and anxious enough to be aware that bad things can happen. We know they can happen. Honest data helps, because otherwise it would just sound like manipulation.
@@alicewolfess971 Well, I work on ground crew so I can add to what he’s told you. So, between every single flight an engineer comes and inspects the aircraft before declaring it fit to do another flight. One of the pilots, usually the captain, will also walk around and inspect the plane to decide if he’s satisfied it’s safe for him to fly. At night, when the plane isn’t going to be used until morning a team of engineers will board and give the plane a much more thorough examination and testing process. The computers in the flight deck are checked and recalibrated. I’m not kidding, these guys have forehead mounted flashlights and they seem to get into everything.
In one night I saw them open up the coverings on the jet engines of a 737 max 8 so they could work on the innards, which was so cool that I regret not asking them if I could take a picture. Towards dawn I saw them examining the landing gear of another 737. They were checking the tyre pressure, condition and doing various checks on the other stuff like the hydraulics or actuators. (I’m not an engineer so I’m guessing a little bit based on what I saw.) They actually allowed me to look up inside the landing gear housing since I was very obvious curious. 😁
But getting back to the daytime when the plane is being prepared during the 40 minute or so turnaround time, in addition to the engineer and pilot checking the plane exterior, inside the flight attendants are doing full inventory and safety checks. They make sure, for example, that everyone aboard has a life vest readily available, that the plane is adequately stocked with medical gear, first aid kits and other safety equipment. A full inventory check is done between every single flight.
Admittedly I’m new, but I’ve managed to observe all this in the month I’ve been on the job. But finally I’d like to mention that on my second week on the job I basically shut down the airport for about half an hour because I’d spotted a half full bottle of water in the middle of the taxi way and reported it. The result was all planes grounded and all incoming ones put into a circular holding pattern while the offending bottle was removed and every inch of the runway, taxi way, apron and aircraft stands was meticulously examined before the airport was reopened again.
So I don’t know if this helps, but I want to assure you that everyone that works airside at airports do everything that they can to make flights as safe as possible. Even the lowliest of ground aircraft services is listened to and taken seriously if we see something that feels wrong. Also, the flight attendants and pilots seem like nice people. I’ve yet to meet one that’s been nasty to me. Heck, on my third night shift I was driving to the airport so I could park in the staff parking zone as usual when my car started losing power. It wouldn’t respond to my pressing the accelerator pedal so I rolled to a halt in the middle of the road and it switched itself off.
So there I was, stranded although within fairly reasonable walking distance to the airport at about 22:05 at night with the last bit of sunlight fading from the night sky. And the one person that pulled over and came to my aid was a Ryanair first officer who’d evidently just flown in and was heading home when he saw me stranded, recognised my uniform and stopped to help. I’d have probably never got the engine going again without him.
@@alicewolfess971 Agreed. I found, much to my surprise, that binge watching plane crash documentaries helped. (Which is especially strange, since my issue is claustrophobia, rather than crashing.)
But - whatever works, right? 😂
@@mikoto7693 Reading this has helped me so much. Thank you so much for your insight.
Very helpful - especially the stats.
Can you make a video about updrafts at night and how you guys navigate around them?
Dude awesome vid thank you
Thank you so much!! 🙏
Great video!
Great info. Thanx!!
You very confident with flying
Looked up this video because for some reason I was always so excited to fly and I loved it but once I got pregnant I became afraid of flying and now my baby is almost 10 months old and I literally am so afraid it’s so frustrating how I did a 180! I don’t understand why! Thank you so much for making this video!!!!
Same!! Was always a little nervous but once a child gets into the equation its a whole new anxiety world
Didn't expect an airplane safety thirst trap on today's bingo card, but here we are. 😂
Keep yourself distracted - that’s the best advice.
Hi pilot garrett..i like this video..educated me not to afraid and have fear of flying..um a traveller..but when ww meet a turbulence for about an hour my mind thinking.
What if..if this plane crash.
Im gonna die..ohh my GOD..but thanks you explaned that you can turn in other routes..thanks its so nice vlogs..
I must admit sometimes it frightens me to death my daughter is as bad, the worst fears for me are taking off and landing when I went to Lanzarote we ended up holding each other's arm. My other worry would-be terrorists especially after 9-11. And landing in Greece, the runway is that short and they have to come down so quick to land there is water either side. Even the captains draw straws.
Thanks man really helped :)
I love out of all the examples you give for odds of being killed, winning an Olympic gold is the crazy one 😂 Great info though, really enjoying the videos.
As many people have died in plane crashes since 1959 (around 29,600) as have been awarded Summer Olympic medals since 1896 (around 29,200)....and that's *ALL* medals, not just gold medals.
You can see what Disraeli meant when he said "Lies, damned lies and statistics!"
thanks for the great information!
If I could fly with you I would certainly not fear for flying... 😀
Really
i have a flight tmrw this really did help!
Thank you sooooo much!!!
