Can’t believe I got all the way to the end and no one has posted about flight simming.
It’s an amazing hobby, with tonnes of gear, software, community and a wealth of knowledge. I’m nowhere in as deep as some, but find an immense pleasure in nerding out about it.
I was never worried about flying for real (as a passenger) but during turbulence I’d sometimes get a bit clammy-handed. Flight simming has completely cured it. There are SO many layers of safety and the more you understand - and in fact the more accident reports you read and see what the follow-up improvements were - the less I get bothered about even heavy turbulence or unsteady landings. Pilots know their stuff.

As someone with fear of flying, I really need to look into this.

The Mentour Pilot channel makes documentaries about aviation accidents using the official reports, and it has helped many nervous flyers, because he explains it fully and also goes over the recommendations of the reports. I recommend checking it out.

Mentour Pilot’s reviews are broadcast level quality. They are SO good and, yeah, paradoxically the best thing a nervous flyer could watch, as they show not just the incident but also the follow-up and changes. Highly recommended.
