Overcome your fear of flying during this private training in a full motion simulator.

Order

You would like to book that one flying holiday or visit family abroad. But because you have to get on a plane, you don't book that trip. For example, you are afraid of turbulence or of crashing. Or maybe you get nervous at the thought of being locked up in an aeroplane.

Fear of flying is caused by unpleasant experiences, for example. Sometimes it is transmitted, often unconsciously, by people in the immediate vicinity. As many as 35 out of 100 people develop a fear of flying sooner or later. So it is actually very common.

Would you like to look forward to a flight again? You too can overcome your fear of flying and we would like to help you do so.

What will you do during the fear of flying course?

Fear of flying differs enormously per person. That is why the programme is tailored to your needs. Conquering fear of flying can be scary and confrontational. Our specialists have experience with this and guide you step by step through this process. You follow the programme at a pace that you feel comfortable with. The total training takes about 2 hours.

You always start outside the simulator with a conversation with our specialist, just at the table. Over a cup of coffee or tea, we determine what exactly your fears are. Then, later in the training, we focus on the parts that are relevant to you.

The next step is the 'mock-up'. This is a replica of the cockpit of the Boeing 737. All the buttons, levers and switches are there but they do not work. The instructor gives a short explanation of what the pilots do in the air.

When you're ready, you take a seat in the simulator together with our specialist. Nothing happens yet, just sit down and take in the impressions of the cockpit. The instructor will give you more information and explanations about flying.

Full-motion simulator

The next step is to fly the simulator. We start quietly and gradually build up to it. We focus on the points that are difficult for you. For example, we can fly with turbulence or poor visibility. The instructor will go through various scenarios with you and explain how things work in the cockpit. Because it is a full motion simulator, you feel everything just like 'in real life'.

The simulator is an exact replica of a Boeing 737 cockpit. All buttons and instruments work like in real life. The simulator moves while flying and is therefore indistinguishable from the real thing. This simulator is also used for pilot training. The simulator can also be flown 'static'. Then you see that you are flying on the horizon and instruments, but you don't feel the plane move. This is a lot less realistic and therefore a good compromise for some.

Location

This training is given at Lelystad Airport. This is a small but busy airport with a lot of recreational air traffic. From the training location you have a view on the runway.

Ik heb hier écht veel aan gehad! Theo is een hele vriendelijke en toegankelijke man die alles heel erg goed uitlegt. Hij maakt vergelijkingen met de auto, bus en trein en doet dit met humor. Hierdoor voelt het vliegen uiteindelijk ook niet zo zwaar. De simulator vond ik in eerste instantie heel spannend maar door de uitleg van Theo en zijn nuchterheid en kalmte werd ik ook rustiger. Mijn angst voor turbulentie heeft hij ook goed aangepakt door tijdens de vlucht de deur van de simulator open te doen. Hierdoor zie je dat je helemaal niet zo extreem beweegt als dat je denkt. Volgens Theo is vliegen gewoon een vervoermiddel wat toevallig door de lucht gaat. Je kunt eruit op het eerstvolgende station, de gekozen luchthaven dus. Die ga ik voor altijd onthouden!

Het was fijn dat Theo de tijd nam om alles goed uit te leggen met behulp van een vliegtuig op schaal en in begrijpelijke taal. Je voelt je snel op je gemak bij hem wat ook invloed heeft op je eigen spanning. Zijn grapjes houden het luchtig.
Het enige wat ik fijn had gevonden was het meer oefenen van de voor mijn spannende momenten. Bijvoorbeeld 2 keer de start ipv de start en de daling. Maar dat zal technisch niet mogelijk zijn misschien.

I really got a lot out of this! Theo is a very friendly and approachable man who explains everything very well. He makes comparisons with the car, bus and train and does this with humour. This also makes flying not feel so heavy in the end. I found the simulator very exciting at first, but Theo's explanations and his level-headedness and calmness also calmed me down. He also tackled my fear of turbulence well by opening the simulator door during the flight. This shows you that you are not at all moving as extremely as you think. According to Theo, flying is just a means of transport that happens to go through the air. You can get out at the next station, i.e. the chosen airport. I'm going to remember that one forever!

It was nice that Theo took the time to explain everything well using a scale plane and in understandable language. You quickly feel at ease with him which also affects your own tension. The only thing I would have liked was more practice with the moments that were stressful for me. For instance, the take-off twice instead of the take-off and descent. But that might not be technically possible.

De cursus was erg leerzaam en Theo legde alles heel fijn en rustig uit. Ook in de simulator legde hij rustig uit wat de piloten doen in de lucht. Ik ben echt wat zekerder geworden voor vliegen en over 3 weken ga ik hopelijk ( en ik denk het wel) een stuk rustiger en fijner het vliegtuig in!

Fijn dat Theo de tijd nam en refereerde naar dingen in het dagelijks leven. De simulator was super leerzaam en tijdens hevige turbulentie deed hij de deur even open en kon je zien hoe het vliegtuig heen en weer ging. Dat deed me beseffen dat turbulentie helemaal niet zo erg en heftig was, als dat ik altijd dacht. Hele fijne cursus met een fijne instructeur, die ook de onderdelen brengt met een vleugje humor!

The course was very informative and Theo explained everything very nicely and calmly. Even in the simulator, he calmly explained what the pilots do in the air. I have really become more confident about flying and in three weeks' time I will hopefully (and I think I will) enter the plane a lot calmer and nicer! It was great that Theo took his time and referred to things in everyday life. The simulator was super instructive and during severe turbulence he opened the door for a moment and you could see how the plane went back and forth. That made me realise that turbulence was not at all as bad and severe as I always thought. Very nice course with a nice instructor, who also brings the parts with a touch of humour!

Zeer leerzaam, heel inspirerend met veel passie en een vleug met humor.

Theo is een zeer passievolle en uiterst ervaren man die in staat is je uit te rusten met veel vertrouwen.
Zou het ff niet kunnen bedenken.

I recently did a fear of flying course in a simulator with Captain Theo, and it was an incredible experience. Before the flight, he took the time to explain every sound you hear on an airplane, everything about turbulence, and asked me questions about my own fears. He really helped me think rationally about my irrational thoughts.

We then did a simulated flight to Brussels with live weather. I was quite nervous at the start and even had a little cry, but Captain Theo stayed so calm and reassuring that he quickly put me at ease. He explained everything step by step, never rushed me, and even showed me how planes have double of every system – not just copies, but completely separate backups.

His calm approach and clear explanations made a huge difference, and I feel much more confident about flying now

Thankyou forcthis experience.

We're glad to hear the course was helpful. Will you let us know when you've flown in real life?

Heel leerzaam en het heeft enorm goed geholpen tegen mijn vliegangst!

Het was heel leuk dat de simulator aanvoelde als een echt vliegtuig, wat ik niet had verwacht, maar het voelt echt levensecht! Theo is een hele aardige man die alles heel goed uitlegt waarom dingen op een bepaalde manier werken en waarom je bepaalde dingen hoort of ziet in een vliegtuig.

Very informative and it helped enormously against my fear of flying!

It was very nice that the simulator felt like a real plane, which I didn't expect, but it really feels true to life! Theo is a very nice man who explains everything very well why things work a certain way and why you hear or see certain things in a plane.
