Fear of flight course
Did you know that exposure in a safe and controlled environment is the most effective way to overcome anxiety or phobias?
At FlightX, we use a combined approach that delivers the best results. The program includes 70 minutes in our flight simulator and 60 minutes of psychological counseling. This method offers you the most effective way to conquer your fear.
We provide the most innovative and comprehensive solution available. This service will not only help you overcome your fear of flying, but also allow you to discover the joy of traveling by air.
You’ll have access to a high-performance Airbus A320 simulator, a team of experienced instructors, and a session with one of the leading psychologists in Cluj-Napoca, specialized in flight-related psychology, anxiety, and panic disorder treatment.
First step
An important factor contributing to the fear of flying is the sensation of a lack of control.
Alongside our specialized instructors, following a preliminary briefing, you will experience flight directly from the pilot’s seat, taking control of the aircraft throughout the session. This unique opportunity allows you to witness everything that occurs in the cockpit from takeoff to landing. In the simulator, you will not only have the exclusive chance to discover the rigorous procedures and checks conducted on every flight, but you will also receive accessible explanations regarding the redundant and automated systems that make flying by far the safest way of transportation. Turbulence, flying in stormy weather, or even engine failures are just a few of the numerous scenarios you can experience in our simulator. All your aviation-related curiosities and questions will be addressed, and you will embark on an absolutely memorable adventure. Our simulator sessions are extremely realistic, and our primary objective is to replace your fear with the joy of flying.
DAMIAN OVIDIU
Clinical psychologist, trained in positive psychotherapy.
With nearly 20 years of experience in counseling and therapy across various fields, he also spent 6 years as a cabin crew line trainer for a commercial airline, where he handled hundreds of situations involving anxious passengers or panic attacks.
Together with Ovidiu, you will understand the reasons behind your fear of flying and gain the tools you need to overcome it.
Second step
Therapy is an essential component of this program, where we will focus on the following:
- Fear Assessment: The psychologist will discuss your past flying experiences and assess the intensity of your fear, identifying specific triggers.
- Discussion of the Simulator Session: This part of the therapy will include discussions about your simulator experience, with the psychologist providing feedback and support to help process the experience in a way that contributes to reducing fear.
- Cognitive Restructuring: The psychologist will assist in identifying and altering negative thoughts related to flying, facilitating the development of a realistic and positive perspective.
- Relaxation Techniques: You will learn effective stress and anxiety management techniques that can also be applied in your daily life.
- Action Plan: At the conclusion of the session, you will have a clear direction and a personalized action plan to continue addressing your fear of flying, including suggestions for additional exercises, coping strategies, or, in more specialized cases, the continuation through psychological counseling sessions and simulator experiences.
Free yourself from the constraints of your phobia at FlightX and allow yourself to enjoy vacations and travel with the safest way of transportation. We look forward to welcoming you!
