There is nothing better, to get a nervous flyers mind away from thinking about the 'what if', than getting them immersed and involved in the actual flying. I think it's a fear of not being in control of your 'fate' that causes phobias and anxiety. Nice to see Faith back in the aircraft and really warming to the experience. Nice one Nick!
Yeah it really helped I have to say. I knew if I could just get her to stop overthinking it she should see it was all ok and she soon settled right into the flight. She did absolutely brilliantly and was a huge confidence boost for her.
Good job, Nick! Faith was obviously nervous but you handled that really well. You went early in the day before the thermals had kicked off, you flew very smoothly and gently, and you involved Faith in flying the aeroplane to show her there was nothing to worry about. Another excellent vid. Thanks! Vince
Thank you! Yes, 07:30 wheels up! There was no way I was risking her having another bad experience when she loves aviation so much so I did everything I could to make it positive for her and I’m super pleased with the end result. Thanks for watching and leaving your feedback - it is much appreciated!
Brilliant video, didn't know that there was a microlight airfield next to the old HMS Blackcap airfield. Nice. I am hoping to start having lessons at west lancs microlight school in Ince soon. Looking forward to the next video.
Just got an image in my mind of 10 years from now with Faith being the pilot and you in the passenger seat going flip flip flip as she’s attempting a barrel roll 😂
cheers girl, i remember my first PPG flight where i had a PROPER BARF SESSION 🤢🤢🤢🤮 that little sprinkle you had going on was nothing! i was puking for 15 min straight and felt bad for a week. yet here i am. still love flying. still doing it. you are not alone!
PS: i am scared shitless from heights too by the way. cant stand at the window in my living room on 27. floor. but flying is different. well done for facing your fears. thats the best way to get rid of them.
Well Done Faith, you are so much more brave than I am And well done Nick for keeping her mind occupied Was hoping Anna would be filming when you flew overhead Awesome video, 1 of the best #ohflip
Thanks Phil. She did great didn’t she! Yeah I was hoping Anna would have filmed it too except as it turns out she was actually in bed and couldn’t get to the garden in time 🤣
She’s getting there isn’t she! Really impressed with how she had a natural feel for the controls too! It’s very rare that someone get the hang of it right away!
Great flight Faith, good on you for sticking it out and actually enjoying it. Well done Nick for helping to get Faith's confidence back. Love watching your posts.
Thank you! She did really well to get on top of her nerves like she did. She soon settled into the flight! Glad she did as she really enjoys it but the last flight left her with a bad taste in her mouth (pardon the pun 🤣)
Faith! You're back! You've more courage than i do. Statistically, you're safer up there than getting in a car. "The National Safety Council reports the probability of dying in a car accident as approximately 1 in 103, whereas the odds of perishing in a plane crash stand at 1 in 11,000"
Nick absolutely and fantastic to watch Faith gain so much confidence , she has more stick time than Anna ,😂😂 the best bit was you grabbing your phone to take the picture of a large manor , Faith went for the stick , i think most people that watch this will have a little lump in the throat , give her a big hug from all of us , and well done Faith.😍😍🤩 Clive
Haha that’s so true she was happier flying the plane than Anna! Well spotted by the way - Anna and I spotted her go for the stick in the edit which shows she’s got a pilots instinct! I was actually really impressed when I saw that back! Thanks so much for the kind words, I will be sure to direct Faith over to the comments section later on!
I'm sure she knows some choicer words than Oh Flip or Oh My Days, but all credit to her for not using them. Brilliant video and you are a role model of how to get someone over their fears. Like a big brother to Faith. A charming gentleman.😇
What a lovely comment. I have passed it on to Faith and she was pleased someone noticed she doesn’t swear. It’s something she’s quite proud of and rightly so. Thank you for the kind words as well, it means a lot!
@@LetsGoFlying I noted that too. No Blaspheming or bad language in spite of her evidently being terrified. She comes across as a well-mannered young lady and should be very proud of herself. Keep at it Faith!
Thanks Rory! Yeah we went first thing in the morning about 7:30am wheels up I think I was! It’s quite thermic at the moment so that was definitely to be avoided where possible! Thanks for watching - hope all is good your end my friend!
Just love this girl, she is Hilarious 😂 But one thing she isn't is a quitter. I hope she becomes a pilot one day. Thank again for this awesome video. You make it much easier for her to overcome her fear, You explain everything to her so she knows what to expect. 💯 % 👍🛩👏 Brilliant teacher. 🤗
I think if you let her put her hand on the controls and let her feel what is happening, it'll make a big difference! Best of luck. Greetings from Cornwall, UK.
Thank you so very much! She’s getting more and more confident with each flight. I get why she had a blip at the beginning this time as last time was a real confidence knocker but fair play to her getting straight back up again!
You did good Faith. Some people are very sensitive to abrupt movements that flying can cause, but you are overcoming that sensitivity. Thanks for sharing this fantastic video. Have a wonderful dayl
Do a live tiktok stream during the next flight that would be awesome , also if she wants to get into flying I suggest either the air cadets or a local flying club
Thank you! She did great - really pleased she got stuck in with the flying too! Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment it’s much appreciated!
Lucky young lady, wish I knew someone with an airplane or even better, a helicopter that could take me up! 🤣 And going up for a fourth flight, so brave! Really cool! 😊
She is getting better each time she flies it’s great to watch and I thoroughly enjoy editing episodes with her in - they are very entertaining I think! Definitely get yourself up if you can! Good luck!
When I gave my girl friend her first ride ever ( 1977 ) in any kind of airplane she did not believe me until we got in the plane a C-150 and left the ground. It was a beautiful flight out of Santa Monica CA.
Awesome videos. So gotta get into this…..you’ve got me sold on a skyranger! If you have a moment, maybe you could let me know what I need to do; what license I need etc. Thanks
Remember one thing Faith. If you have the controls and your pilot is sitting there relaxed there's nothing to worry about, if your pilot has the contorls there's nothing to worry about. You can't beat early morning and late evenings for flying or photography. We love your female flying companions. They may be nervous but you help them to feel at ease. I think Faith is beginning to realise why people fly for pleasure.
That’s a really good way of looking at it! She is reading these comments too by the way! Yeah she’s definitely getting there. I wouldn’t keep dragging her up if I think she hated it but she really enjoys it and wants to not be scared so just trying to work through it. I reckon another couple of flights hands on the controls and she’ll be hooked 😂
Uhh - flying a single engine aircraft is dangerous. I've been flying for over 30 years and I NEVER forget this every time I take off. She has every reason to be nervous. You do her, and her loved ones, a disservice when you downplay the real risk of flying.
The risk is very small mechanically - my aircraft is tested to +6 / -3 G so the airframe is insanely strong. Engine failures are extremely rare with the modern rotax engines too and even if you have one the stall speed of the aircraft is less than 40mph, so providing you’re a half decent pilot and don’t just fly it straight into a tree or power cable, there’s not a lot you can do to hurt yourself in one aside from getting yourself into a spin but that comes under the “half decent pilot” category. You’ve got to make a series of fundamental errors to even get into a spin in the first place and shouldn’t have a licence if you even get near to an incipient spin! Even then it’s entirely recoverable providing you’ve got the height to do so! If you take risks, you will encounter danger but flying on an extremely calm and still air day in a well maintained aircraft with a current pilot, you are more likely to crash on the way to the airfield than you are in that plane!
Do you also talk like that to people using cars? The States alone have 40 000 deaths per year in traffic. So driving is more dangerous, why you don't say that to everyone driving with you in a car? You do need to know whom you are talking to, is it a life long flying pilot or is it a layperson with 16 years old and nervous flyer. You do your surrounding a big disservice when you don't differentiate whom you are talking to. Also, we are not in a risk assessment here.
500 hrs aren't so many. Do not be too self-confident, every single passenger should get a briefing about what to do in case of emergency. Because you've got a ballistic recovery system (BRS) installed on your aircraft, correct?
500 hours is an average of 10 years experience for most private pilots which I have gathered in just 5 years. Currency is king and I’m extremely current on type in a varying range of conditions from the mild to the extreme. The day in question was extremely calm with almost nil wind and blue skies. I pride myself on my attention to detail and how thorough I am as a pilot and I treat my aircraft and my hobby with the respect it deserves and never get complacent. Just because you don’t see a safety briefing on the heavily edited video made for entertainment purposes doesn’t mean it didn’t happen! If you watched my channel regularly you would know this and you would also know the answer to your own question.
FAITH IS SO COOL I LOVE FAITH SHES AMAZING

Knowing what's going to happen before it happens is big. Surprises don't help a person's confidence. Great job.
I love how comforting and reassuring you are towards Faith. And she’s very brave considering how scared she was.
I’m fifteen too, and flying is like my dream! I want to be a pilot so badly. It’s great to see you again Faith.
You can do it! I wish I did it a lot earlier! Thanks for watching again and taking the time to leave a comment, it is much appreciated Adrienne!
Props to the girl, she was clearly very nervous but still had the guts to go up and face it - good on ya
I’ll pass it on! Thank you 🙏
I used to have a HUGE fear of flying, but ever since I took a flight, I’ve loved it
*pointing down* "These trees need to calm down!! ... quick!"
(The one thing I remember from the last video with her 😀 )

Thank you, I’ll pass it on!
Atta girl Faith, great to see you flying again! Love from Arizona, USA ❤❤❤
Thank you! I’ve directed her over to the comments to read all of the kind messages. Thanks for stopping by!
Congratulations Nick on making her feel more comfortable. You did a great job Faith. I hope to see flying your own plane one day.
Thank you! I’ll pass the message on to Faith too! She’s reading all the comments herself too!
You did well Nick. I think one day she just might care to become a pilot.
Back again with another amazing video! Well done nick and faith 👏
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment!
Faith, It’s great to see you much more mature and much less terrified. It’s cool to see you at the controls of the Nynja.
She’s getting there isn’t she! Really impressed with how she had a natural feel for the controls too! It’s very rare that someone get the hang of it right away!
Great flight Faith, good on you for sticking it out and actually enjoying it.
Well done Nick for helping to get Faith's confidence back.

Got to meet Faith at a friends wedding yesterday!! Couldn’t believe my eyes!! Lovely personality. Keep encouraging Faith to fly.
Faith! You're back!
You've more courage than i do.
Statistically, you're safer up there than getting in a car.

Yea I saw that too, so cool :) I don't know if it was pure fear of death :D or a pilot's instinct, but nevertheless cool :)

I really hope Faith starts flying more often, is she does I do wonder if she will learn to fly before she learns to drive on the road...
Oh Flip!!
FLIPPPP! 🤣 - I’ve bought her a T-Shirt with a photo of us flying and her saying “FLIP!” as a gift 🤣
@@LetsGoFlying That's awesome!!!! What the hell is Flip anyways is that a British thing lol Maybe she wanted you to do Flip in the plane!!
You have a new subscriber. 👏👏🤗
Great flight and a fabulous re-introduction to flying for the absolute legend that is Faith 🤙well done gal 🤙
Thank you! She did great - really pleased she got stuck in with the flying too! Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment it’s much appreciated!
At last !
Good job, Pilot! And good job, Faith!! Great video, mate!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it! Good to see you stop by, I hope all is well with you!
Where can I get an Oh Flip! T-shirt
That’s quite funny actually as I had one made for Faith after that video 🤣
You are going great Faith so good to see you outomaticly take control.
Ah you spotted that too! I was really impressed when I saw that in the edit!
no vomit this time 🤣 34:40 good shot of the forge lane water tower
Haha no, no vomit! Yeah I inadvertently got some good shots of Congleton whilst I was orbiting! Thanks for watching Ste!
