Pilot error? What does that mean?? I'll tell you what it means, it means

heights..

How does one get a license to fly a commercial plane who throws up if he's 2 inches above the ground?

The Wingnut sanity clause. Oh my.

There ain't no sanity clause.

Nonetheless, I'm about as sane as they come.

And one flew over the cuckoo's nest.

That was a bit of a woosh! wasn't it. Maybe he's too young to
know about Chico.

Flying in an airplane does not trigger a fear of heights, and a fear of
heights is just as common among pilots as it is in the general population. A
pilot might feel anxious standing at the top of the stairs while getting on or
off his airplane, but he won't feel that way in the cockpit. The same is true
for passengers with a fear of heights.

The notion that a fear of heights can interfere with the ability to work as a
pilot is a misconception. A fear of heights is usually a translated fear of
falling, and you cannot fall when you are securely inside an airplane.

A fear of heights doesn't influence piloting. Motion sickness can be overcome
by gradual experience.

A fear of heights is no less common among pilots than it is in the general
population. Motion sickness is also a problem for some pilots during their
pilot training, but they get over it.

If that's intended to suggest that I'm as nutty as that book's
protagonist, well I hate to tell you this but you're wrong. Sorry. :-)

When I'm 10,000 feet in the air, ....I get this feeling of ...falling.

Do they get 'dizzy spells' too?

Dizzy spells are much more likely to be pathological in both pilots and
non-pilots.

Come onnn already, ...you can feel 'fear of falling' in a "secure place?" like "inside an airplane??"

(who feels secure inside an airplane?)

You can feel 'fear of falling' laying on a floor!


Do you know where the 'fear of falling' comes from?
