In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Drink a cup of tea, make your bed, or do some simple stretches. Whatever your normal routine, the more you’re able to stick to it on travel day the less stressful the day will seem. Just try your best to avoid extra caffeine as it increases feelings of anxiety. About 10 minutes before your boarding time try to use the restroom. After you get on the plane there will likely be at least 30 minutes before the plane is in the air and you’re free to walk around the cabin. Additionally, if your anxiety over travelling stems from a fear of enclosed places, not having to use the small aircraft restroom will take an extra stress off your mind. Mention your anxiety to the flight attendant or have a conversation with the person seated next to you. Don’t let the conversation spiral into a discussion about all the terrors of flying, but just having someone that knows how you’re feeling can be enough to keep travel jitters away. Remember 25 percent of people have some fear of flying and talking to those around you on the flight can help create a support group to help you through the flight. Now is the perfect time to use the breathing and meditation techniques you’ve been working on!  Remember deep abdominal breathing and whichever meditation technique you have been studying. Focus yourself as soon as you get on the plane and then at any point when you begin to feel jittery. Don’t wait until you’re feeling overwhelmed. The best way to deal with travel jitters is to keep them from happening! After you get settled on the plane get out a book and start reading. Find an interesting book before your flight, something by an author you know you enjoy. Begin the book a few days before the flight, stopping a few chapters in, preferably at a cliffhanger or plot twist. Then when you start reading during the flight you’re already into the story and more likely to keep your attention. New regulations allow you to use small electronics during take-off and landing. Once the plane starts taxiing to the runway, take out your smartphone, iPod, or small tablet. Before flying download a new album from your favorite artist or put together a playlist of your favorite songs and listen to it during takeoff. Having headphones in will block out any noise from the plane during takeoff and help you feel more relaxed. Once the flight gets going you’re able to take out your laptop. An engrossing two hour movie is a great way to use the majority of your flight time. If possible, pick a movie you’ve never seen before that has been on your “must watch” list for a while, or chose one of your favorites that you know will make you laugh. The most important thing to remember during the flight is to keep yourself distracted. Go back to your book, listen to more music, play a game, meditate, or watch a TV show. Find whatever is best at keeping your attention and mind off of the flight stick with it!
Summary: Follow your normal morning routine. Use the restroom. Talk to people. Practice calmness. Read a book. Listen to music. Watch a movie. Stay busy.

Problem: Article: You want to find an instructor that is experienced at both flying and teaching, and can communicate well. Try to find an instructor who has done more than 3,000 hours of teaching.  The easiest way to find an instructor is through a flight school in your area, though some flight instructors do work freelance. Also be sure to pick an instructor that you feel at ease with. Flying for the first time is nerve-wracking as it is, so you want to find someone who will make you feel relaxed and calm. Your flying lessons are the most critical part of your learning process. Different countries vary on the amount of time that you need to train, so check your country’s individual standards by researching on the internet or calling a flight school. No matter what country you are in, you will need to do a certain amount of hours with your instructor, plus night and cross-country flights, as well as solo flights with takeoffs and landings. In the United States, the breakdown is as follows:  20 hours of training with an instructor (including 3 hours of cross-country, 3 night hours, and 3 hours of instrument flight training). 10 hours of solo time (including travel to various airports with set amounts of takeoffs and landings.) Although this only adds up to 30 hours, you need 40 hours in the US to complete training. Most people do more than 40 hours; a good estimate of the average amount of hours people generally do is 60 hours. This is the amount of time that it generally takes to master all the skills you need. Don’t take long breaks between your flying sessions. Even a couple weeks can make you forget what you have learned so that you will have to do more hours to master flying. This will cost you more money and make the entire process longer and more difficult. You will be learning many different aspects of flying. When you learn so much at one time, it can be difficult to retain it all. If there is an aspect of piloting that you feel uncertain about, tell your instructor that you’d like to go over it again. Your instructor is there to help, so don’t be hesitant about asking them to repeat themselves. Some of the skills and knowledge you will learn are: airport operations, preflight procedures, takeoffs and landings, navigation, flight at various air speeds, stalls, night operations and emergency operations.
Summary:
Find the right instructor. Start your lessons. Fly consistently. Let your instructor know if you need to repeat lessons on certain skills.
