A Utah man who struggles with aerophobia created 'Flight Deck: Fear Of Flying Flash Cards' after making information-filled cards for himself to help alleviate his fear of flying.

A terrified flyer has found a unique way to alleviate his fear of air travel — and now he wants to help others with the same fears. Brian Morris in Park City, Utah, created "Flight Deck: Fear Of Flying Flash Cards" after he was forced to face his severe fears when asked to officiate at his best friend's wedding in Florida. He looked for resources that would help him handle his fear of air travel and found an online course that gave him tips to alleviate his aerophobia.

One key takeaway was writing down the different procedures for flying and bits of information on small cards. "I started using the three by five cards on the airplane, and it was helping me, and I started to get requests from other people that wanted to use them," Morris told FOX Business. Aerophobia is a common fear of flying that affects more than 25 million Americans, according to Cleveland Clinic. He said pilots, flight attendants and other passengers all took notice.

Every time I get on a plane, and I use the cards, someone will always ask me what I'm doing, and I'll tell them, and they'll say, ‘Hey, I have a fear of flying, too.’ I started just passing the cards around the plane," said Morris. Morris partnered with Captain Emma Henderson, who served as a pilot for 30 years, after she saw Morris using the cards on a flight. Henderson is based in the north of Scotland.
