I was planning on using the Take Me Along to help me with take off but I just found out that Southwest does not allow you to use Ipods/CD players under 10,000
feet. THAT DOESN'T HELP!!! What do you do???

hi,
i believe that is true for all of the airlines. i just got back from a cross country flight on sunday (my first trip since starting the program). i used take me along on the way to the airport, at the boarding area and then in my seat waiting for take off (this is where tom describes take off and climb since you cant listen during that time). then once you hit 10,000 feet, you can listen again and right before you descent to 10,000 feet, listen. you will be fine! just think of what tom says, how calm he explains things etc..... |

Oh, thank you so much for explaining this to me!! Classic response of mine - I panic and then lose all common sense. Of course Capt Tom would have taken the
restrictions into account. Thank you again!

As "Take Me Along" tells you, you can't use electronics during takeoff and landing, and it instructs you to listen to the take off briefing
before take off, and the landing briefing before landing.
That works out fine because you get all the info, and you get it fresh in your mind so you can use it during the takeoff (or the landing). If anyone reading this wants to know where to order "Take Me Along", go to www.fearofflyingdownloads.com/store/ |

Note from Capt. Tom I know everyone worries about weather, but pilots really do not worry about it. We simply - instead of worrying about it - completely prepare for it. Before going to the plane, we review the weather at the destination. If it is not 100% sure to be within legal limits when we arrive at the destination, we must specify an alternate airport in our planning documents, and load on plenty of fuel for going to the destination airport, and then if need be, diverting to the alternate airport. The legal limits are conservative. Even when weather is slightly outside the legal limits, any airline pilot could still land safely. You can rely on the captain never to land when the weather is not legal, and legality limits are reached prior to safety limits. If you are still anxious, call me and we can talk it over. I'm at 877 332-7359 from 10 AM until 7 PM Eastern time. For effective help, even if you are flying in a day or two, sign up now at www.fearofflying.com/fasttrack and call me when you finish Clip 9 so I can make sure you are all set. |

Using Weather Information If you enter your ZIP Code or City at the top of the weather presentation, it will give you weather for your area. Or, you can enter your destination ZIP Code or City.
Click on the "LOCAL RADAR" button to see whether or not there are thunder- Turbulence, though it may cause anxiety, does not mean anything is wrong. Turbulence does not mean danger. The plane can handle far more turbulence than Mother Nature can dish out. Though flying in turbulence is safe, it doesn't feel safe. And here is where the SOAR programs come in. We can help you feel as safe when you fly as you actually are. You can see these programs at www.fearofflying.com/store. |
