Flying without Fear

Nervous flyer? Want to be more relaxed next time you fly? Then Captain Keith Godfrey welcomes you on board and takes you through everything that happens from take-off to touchdown in a simple but informative way.

In a non-technical but candid style the author answers many of the questions that trouble nervous flyers.

Over 250 questions are answered in a way that will inform and entertain the reader.

Have you ever wanted to know, for example: What is turbulence?

Why are there so many unusual noises? What is fuel dumping? Why are there so many warning lights on the flight deck?

Are things always going wrong? How does an aircraft stay up? Why do they put on flaps at take-off and landing? What happens if an engine stops? Why are there so many delays when it's foggy? How do you know what height to climb to? How good are Air Traffic Controllers? Why do the crew tell me what to do in an 'emergency' if they almost never happen?
