[quote=Anonymous]Most United Airlines offer "from the cockpit" services on their audio selection, and for someone who is afraid of flying this is incredibly helpful. Not only do you hear the nonchalance of the pilots in dealing with things, but you also get advanced notice of just about every other thing going on in the plane. From "Cleared for Takeoff" a few seconds before the engines kick up to "turn right 40 degrees" before the plane turns. or "speed up or slow down" calls before the subsequent action on the plane. You really get a feel for what is about to happen before it happens and it makes the whole thing seem much more routine. On some newer airlines they offer live camera footage from the cockpit looking forward. Some feel this is helpful as well. Only other suggestion is foreign movies on your iPad. Why? You have to read them to pay attention, which keeps you focused on the movie and not what's going on elsewhere on the plane.[/quote]
