The Fearless Flyer
Our podcast is for people who have a fear of flying or, an anxiety associated with being in an aircraft. In our first series (S1), we will take you from the basics about how an aircraft works with an insight as to what is happening and why during a flight, to the stuff you don't see behind the scenes. The aim is to remove the myth of flying and arm you with the knowledge to make you into a Fearless Flyer.
We then run an episode we call S2 "Going on a Flight," explaining the preparation you should consider before a flight and, talking you through the process and the noises etc you will hear on an actual flight.
We then move onto series 3 (S3), an on-going series discussing historical aviation events, what we learnt from these events and how these lessons were implemented into the aviation industry in order prevent them happening again. These historical lessons have made a significant contribution as to why the aviation industry is now so regulated and, why flying is one of the safest forms of transport today.
You Hosts are James and Grant. James studied Aviation Management at a New Zealand University and is now employed in a commercial role for a major airline. Grant is a Boeing 777 Captain with a major airline in the Middle East, he spent the first 8 years of his career as an Aircraft Engineer before taking up flying full time. Previous aircraft Grant flew were the Boeing 757, 767 and 737, he currently has over 20,000 hours of flying time.

Hi Fearless Flyer podcast listeners, following two recent turbulence events, I wanted to give you a special update to our original turbulence episode.
In this special episode we cover what causes high level turbulence, what g forces are, discuss the preliminary report of SQ321 and a few other events, Grant's views on turbulence when you are not in your seat and some more turbulence statistics.
I would also suggest you listen to S1 E7 Turbulence if you have not heard it before listening to this special episode.
I hope this episode helps with your concerns or worries about the subject of turbulence and as per usual, feel free to contact us at the below contact points should you want to chat about any concerns or worries you have about turbulence or flying in general.
Kind regards to all our listeners, Grant.
