Courage to Fly


Is It For Me?

Take this self-assessment and find out!

On a scale of 1-10, how would you rate your reaction to each of the following questions?

1 = no investment - doesn't really relate to me
10 = completely invested - absolutely me

  1. Regardless of weather conditions, time, or distance, would you rather drive rather than fly?
  2. Do you suffer anxiety days or even months ahead of a scheduled flight?
  3. Have you had a panic attack associated with flying, the preparation for a flight or driving others to the airport?
  4. Do you have "grin and bear it", or white-knuckle flights, trying to keep your secret from others?
  5. Do you use alcohol and/or medications to overcome flight anxiety?
  6. Are you willing to disappoint family, employers and even yourself by missing:
    • Marriages
    • Visiting ill family or friends
    • Business engagements
    • Vacations
    • Funerals
  7. Have you given up job opportunities rather than fly?
  8. Do you explain your reluctance to fly by saying:
    • I am a control freak.
    • I am a perfectionist.
    • I would be OK if I flew the plane.
    • I am claustrophobic.
    • I would be OK if I could get out anytime I wanted.
    • I would be OK if there were no turbulence.
    • I am afraid because I don't want something to happen to me and leave my children behind.
