FEAR OF FLYING

CLAM - Unime People who have a fear (paura) of going up (salire) in an airplane have to live with flying fears (paura di volare). There are a few specialized centres, such as the Fear of Flying Clinic in California, which offer therapy and workshops (laboratori) designed to help people overcome (superare) flying anxiety.

A pilot, a mechanic and an air traffic controller explain the basics (concetti base) of aerodynamics and flight safety (sicurezza in volo) procedures and take clients on a tour of the control tower and maintenance area (area manutenzione). A therapist also works with participants to help them determine what their base phobia is. The seminar ends with a short flight.

The experts also suggest a few tips (consigli) on how to conquer a fear of flying:

Learn relaxation techniques that may help you stay calm.
Introduce yourself (presentati) to the crew (equipaggio) and let them know that flying makes you uncomfortable (ti mette a disagio). They may be able to offer some extra assistance during your flight.
Dress comfortably (comodo) and eat before you fly.
Don’t wait until (fino a) the hour before the flight to start preparing yourself for the journey (viaggio).
