We understand the impact an aversion to flying can have on those affected; whether it’s connecting with friends and family, taking that business trip, or enjoying a new holiday experience, travel is an essential part of island life.
Since 2017 we have helped 100s of island residents overcome this aversion with our proven ‘Freedom to Fly’ programme, which takes place over two days and includes classroom sessions with a behavioural coach and our senior Captains, culminating in an experience flight. We’re proud to host this complimentary course in our home islands and of the difference it has continued to make to many.
Course dates for 2023:
- Guernsey: 18-19 March
- Jersey: 29-30 April & 6-7 May

Let us give you the freedom to fly
Course itinerary
Living on an island means not having the confidence to fly can have a big impact on your life. Holidays can be missed out on, work affected and experiences other people take for granted not possible. This two day course will help give you a full understanding of the aviation world, before teaching you how to manage and confront your fears.
Day 1 am

- Regulation and safety within aviation
- Training that pilots undertake
- Understanding how an aircraft works and its safety features

- What is happening at each stage of the flight
- Understanding turbulence
- Why things happen during a flight

Mo Bury, Behavioural Change Coach from Momentum Training, with 25 years of training experience will discuss:
- What is fear and where does it come from?
- Why and how it causes us to experience those unpleasant feelings
