Does the simple idea of taking a plane make you sweat? You’re not alone in being phobic regarding flying. 20 to 33% of the world’s population is afraid of flying. In Beauzelle near Toulouse, the company Aviasim offers several modules to reconcile you with planes.
Six hours of training
Each course is made up of two modules, for a course lasting a total of six hours. The first is theoretical and allows you to recall the basic functioning of an airplane. “Fear almost always comes from ignorance. When you understand the plane, it’s easier to be reassured“, explains the operations director at Aviasim, Gilles Valade.
The second module is practical. For that, trainees board an exact replica of the A320. Emilie, a 20-year-old engineering school student, tested it: “I’m very afraid of flying. However, when I was little I loved it. It came following a bad experience with a park attraction. I can’t control this fear. Yet I want to get rid of it because I love travelingr”. The 6-hour course costs 399 euros.
