I am glad you asked! Trust is one of the most important factors when attempting to change beliefs and behaviors. I have been blessed to help people overcome their fear of flying since 1987. Being at this for as long as I have, I am often referred to as an internationally recognized fear of flying expert.
As a recognized authority in human factors and pilot performance, I have had the privilege to design and deliver programs to reduce the likelihood of aviation accidents due to human error. I have served on the Air Transport Association’s Human Factors Subcommittee and have spoken at numerous national conferences on human factors in aviation.
I have devoted most of my adult life exploring learning technologies to understand how adults best learn. My knowledge of people, combined with my knowledge of airplanes, have helped me develop strategies for fearful flyers to successfully manage their fears.
When I am not teaching classes, I a keynote speaker on fear of flying, conflict resolution, performance management, and the paradox of personality. As an aviation industry expert, I have been featured on The Today Show, Weekend Live, NBC’s Nightly News, CSNBC, and MSNBC.
I have also been featured in nationally recognized publications like USA Today, the Washington Post, and the Wall Street Journal. Put simple, it is my mission and passion to help people overcome their fear of flying.
No, that's not ok!

It may. But it will be in a safe environment with qualified professionals and therapists. In short, there is no better place for you to experience and overcome your fear of flying.
You are not alone and this is one of the main reasons why this class exists and has been so successful over the last 37+ years!
FearlessFlight® may be recording the class and the audio/video recordings may be made available to you for purchase at a future date.
In all of our classes and services we offer here at FearlessFlight®, Capt Ron educates fearful flyers about how audio and video can be a powerful way to help you overcome your fear of flying…
The reality is that most people just don't fly regularly enough to keep up with the practice and process. For this reason we are recording all of our events, programs and classes.
For you, it's sort of like having Capt Ron right there with you talking in your ear, so you can listen to the great and powerful content your learned during your class. You can do so in the comfort of your own home, on your way to the airport, waiting at the gate or during your flight, when you need to remember the most.
