Ask the pilot
It's trial by fire in the author's long-awaited return to the cockpit. Can you say "barf bag"?

  • Welcome back!

    Nice story. Sorry your first leg had to be so... interesting. At least now you won't wonder how you'll handle your first real IFR approach. I wish you lots of straight-ins under tropical CAVU skies. Stay ahead of the aircraft.

  • Thanks

    I'm another nervous flyer -- though I conquered the major terror with valium and vodka -- and your columns also provide me with some knowledge and comfort. Thank you.

    Welcome back to the cockpit! Please keep writing. :-)

    Hi Patrick,

    I love your ariticles.. I am a terrified flyer - Xanax is my best friend on a plane. I would love for you to be the pilot on a flight I'm on. Thanks so much for all your input. I enjoy it so much.

    Jenny
