Yes I have a fear of heights in the airplane. I am working hard to overcome it. I solo everyday, and push myself higher and higher everytime. up to 3200 asl so far. It does seem to be getting easier for me. I am starting to feel much more comfortable. Glad to hear I’m not the only one.

i feel so much better now !! i tought for sure something was wrong with me. i actualy get dizzy and feel frozen at 30ft in a tree sometimes while hunting or just cleaning a roof!! it must have something to do having control of the aircraft

I’ve been flying for over 2 years now and have been fascinated by aviation and flight for as long as I can remember. But believe it or not, I have a fear of heights AND I’m claustrophobic! I think what helps me overcome it every time I’m in a plane (single-engine) is the fact that I have control of the situation, whereas standing on a ledge or on the edge of a rooftop, I feel that I have no control. Very strange, eh?

That’s funny ,afriend and I was just discussing that the other day.I invited him to go flying with me some day and his response was I’m afraid of heights,I don’t know about that.My response was, I’m scared to death of heightstoo ,but it’s a much diferent deal because you are surrounded by the airplane.It doesn’t bother me at all I’ve had my 150 up to 8500 feet with no problem at all. maybe I should print this page out to show him I’m not the only one.

Although cautious, I’m reasonably okay with heights as long as whatever it is is secure. I believe being elevated while “attached” to the ground causes the fear. Being detached from the ground, as in an airplane, has no effect — fact is I love it!

We should probably not show this to too many non-pilots, they will never fly with us again!
