Danair boy,

Sometimes I find myself slightly uneasy a few days before flying, I think the reason is that we aviation enthusiasts are always reading about the mechanics behind flying, finding out about crasehes, failures etc.

The normal general flying public have no interest in aviation so they really don’t have any way of finding out about small crashes which are not that well documented,where as we constantly read about them, therefore it’s not really in the forefront of their mind.

When sitting in a passenger aircraft I find myself thinking it would be so easy for something to go wrong i.e. engine failure, de pressurize but the only reason I find myself doing this is because I’m so bored and having read all these reports of crashing it just spurs on an overactive mind.

When flying PPL it never crosses my mind because you are so occupied in the art of flying :rolleyes:
