From Flap Failure to Flight School: How Kristin Overcame Her Fear of Flying

In this episode of the From the Flight Deck Podcast, we sit down with Kristin, who transformed her fear of flying into a passion for aviation. Kristin shares her experience of a flap failure on an airliner, an event that shook her confidence in air travel and led her to run off an airplane before it even left the gate.
But Kristin's story doesn't end there. With the help of our Dial A Pilot service, she faced her fears head-on and not only conquered them but also discovered a newfound love for flying. Now, Kristin is taking to the skies in a whole new way-by learning to fly!
Join us as we discuss the journey from anxiety to empowerment, the role of Dial A Pilot in helping nervous fliers, and what it takes to turn a traumatic experience into a life-changing adventure. Whether you're a nervous flier or an aviation enthusiast, this episode offers inspiration and practical advice on overcoming fear and embracing the skies.
Tune in for an uplifting conversation about resilience, the power of support, and the thrill of flying!
