Cleared For Takeoff Classes

CFT 101, the Basic Class, is a free two-hour class conducted in a classroom at Sky Harbor Airport. This is an introductory course to give the fearful flyer an overview of the fear process, learn coping strategies, and become educated about what fearful flyers fear most—takeoffs and turbulence.

Many fearful flyers feel that they need to “practice” getting on a plane before they take an actual flight.  Now they can!  Our CFT class 102, The Plane Truth, is an opportunity to board a stationary aircraft parked at the gate.  During the class held on board the aircraft, Capt. Ron will answer your most pressing questions about flying.

Once fearful flyers have taken CFT 101, many are ready for the next step— an actual practice flight.   You have to fly to get over fear of flying!  A flight of an hour or so in duration is ideal.  Scheduling a flight to California or Las Vegas is a good choice so that the fearful flyer can practice their new coping skills and knowledge learned in CFT 101 without becoming too overwhelmed with the idea of facing a flight of several hours.  Overcoming fear of flying is accomplished in small steps!
