Hi Peeps - I am flying out on Alaska flight 612 leaving Seattle at 5:20 PM and returning Monday, June 9 on Alaska flight 601 leaving Las Vegas at 11:30 AM. I
know this sounds kooky but I would so love it if someone would track me on my journey to Sin City. I am going with 4 other couples so I'm hoping this will
put me more at ease by my pre-flight anxiety is at an all time high. And to boot, the weather in Washington is crummy. Thanks in advance to those who track
me, I really appreciate it. I will provide an update on my return. - Scared Pickle

Thank you for checking my flight! It didn't start off too good with a mechanical problem that made us de-board and re-board another plane in Seatac. Both
flights were smooth and not as bad as I had pictured in my head. Thank you again. Scared Pickle

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. |
