How to overcome fear of flying
Many passengers are anxious to the idea of flying, called it “the fear of flying”
Yet:
The aircraft is certainly a way to transport the safest in the world since we are not an accident by thirty year (more than 2 billion passengers a year
Nothing is left to chance in aviation (safety is never neglected in favor of economic considerations, checks are continuing, the techniques are continually evolving …)
The causes of this fear of flying:
The fear of crash: the patient is confronted by an anti-natural law: an airplane is heavier than air … in fact just watching the accident statistics to realize that the airplane is much safer … that the roads!
The claustrophobia and / or agoraphobia: the fear of feeling trapped and / or fear of not being able to move as they want. In this case for a small processing anxyolitique and place as close as possible to the emergency exit
The means of combat:
Preparing for travel
Have a good night sleep
Avoid stimulants (alcohol, coffee, tobacco …)
Provide loose clothing
Do not prepare its business at the last moment
For the first flight, talking with regulars travel by plane, the air hostesses …
A small anxiolytic treatment may also be beneficial
For hyper-anxiety can be expected
courses relaxations (Yoga …)
or psychological as those offered by Air France (about 1500 francs a day) or simulates the various phases of flight in models for this purpose in order to identify the exact cause of stress and can possibly influence on it

On board: classically describes 4 phases:
Before take-off: 2 factors for maximum claustrophobia and anxiety-off, so try to arrive a little ahead to “take possession of the premises and try to chat with his neighbor, short of thinking of something else
During take-off is the crucial point: the noise and engine thrust, vibrations and from the different layers of the atmosphere make this phase a very impressive
Flight is the more quiet, the plane is mostly automatic pilot and the passenger sees his anguish decline, even disappear. Only some turbulence or air holes can cause some disturbances
Upon landing, paradoxically, while the traveler is often reassurance is the most sensitive: 2 / 3 of accidents! It is a fairly dramatic stage: it can shake, the output of brakes may worry, the first contact on the ground could be brutal … Again we have to relax, do not think at worst, and to trust the pilot and technology since the repeat:
s i is considered the number of passengers transported by the number of accidents, the aircraft is the means to transport the safest in the world!
