Studies have found that flying is about 29 times safer than driving. Still, many people have a fear of flying, even if they know how safe it is. A fear of flying often stems from feeling out of control. Unless a person is a pilot, he or she really has no control over the plane's movement. Also, planes make many odd sounds, and rides can be very bumpy. Usually, the best way to combat a fear of flying is with education. Knowing the physical laws that make flight possible, knowing what all the sounds a plane makes mean, and knowing how bumps affect flight can all help to lessen the fears people have of flying. Because flying is the fastest way and one of the safest ways to travel, a person should not let the fear of flying get into his or her way.
