Synopsis
Our production will be a documentary on the fear of flying (Aviaphobia). The group contains four of us: Ryan, Zac, Sophie and Hayley; we intend to work together to produce a documentary on Aviaphobia, making a presentation with archive footage of an airport from YouTube, filming interviews of eight experts, such therapists, doctors and an airhostess to gain their advice on how to overcome this phobia and what their opinion on the phobia is. We will be also be using footage of an animated tour simulation of Heathrow airport to give the audience a good conception of what Heathrow airport is like. We have chosen to do this as Zac suffers from Aviaphobia and found this interesting for an idea to turn into a project. We will be spending most of our time editing videos from the footage we have collected to produce the most appealing presentation. We will include a voiceover to give statistics of matters like how many flights from Heathrow happen a year, how many people suffer from Aviaphobia and rumours that have been said to ‘cure’ the fear.

Aviaphobia Research List
Aviophobia is a type of panic disorder related to flying. The classification of the disorder depends on the intensity. If the attack lasts for less than 10 minutes it is an anxiety attack, more than 10 minutes is a panic attack. Aviophobia can occur on or off an airplane. The thought of flying can cause this phobia to appear. A person with aviophobia will have fears of crashing upon airplane take off or landing.

Instructions
Know the signs. Trembling, shaking, chest pain or discomfort, sweating, dizziness, unsteadiness, faintness, fear of losing control and fear of dying are symptoms common to aviophobia disorder.
Consider professional treatment. Physicians prescribe anti-depressants, anti-anxiety medications or a combination of the two for treatment of phobias and panic attacks.
Take charge of your own treatment. Traditional personal treatment methods for phobias are medication and therapy. Alternative methods include hypnosis, biofeedback, yoga and Pilates.
Reserve an aisle seat on an airplane. Looking out the window can cause added stress. Read or listen to music during the flight to help distract panic.
Inform the airline staff of the aviophobia disorder. This information will assist the staff if medical assistance is needed on the airplane.

Aviophobia Pills & Medicines
Many different types of medications are used in the treatment of phobias like aviophobia, including traditional anti-anxiety drugs such as benzodiazepines, and newer options like antidepressants and beta-blockers.
Drugs can seem very effective in the short term, but they are not a cure. Anxiety medication can provide temporary relief, but it doesn’t treat the underlying cause of the disorder. Once you stop taking the drug, usually all the symptoms of aviophobia return in full force.
You need to be aware of the risks of anxiety medication, too:
Anxiety drugs often cause a wide range of unpleasant and sometimes even dangerous side effects.
Many anxiety meds are habit forming and physically addictive too, making it difficult to get off the medication once you’ve started. The bottom line is that anxiety medications can be helpful in the short term but can only ever mask the symptoms of aviophobia, never cure and tackle the root cause.
The Best Drug or Medication for Aviophobia
We strongly believe that no medication is the best prescription for aviophobia. If you are currently taking meds, of course, you should consult with your doctor before changing anything, but we believe the goal should always be to deal with the source of the problem, so you will not need pharmaceuticals.
That said, three types of medication are commonly used in the treatment of aviophobia (aviophobia):
Beta blockers
Beta blockers are used for relieving performance anxiety. They work by blocking the flow of adrenaline that occurs when you’re anxious. While beta blockers don’t affect the emotional symptoms of anxiety, they can control physical symptoms such as shaking hands or voice, sweating, and rapid heartbeat.
Antidepressants
Antidepressants can be helpful when the feelings of fear are severe and debilitating. Three specific antidepressants — Paxil, Effexor, and Zoloft — have been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration phobias.
Benzodiazepines
Benzodiazepines are fast-acting anti-anxiety medications. However, they are sedating and addictive, so they are typically prescribed only when other medications have not worked.

Flying is considered one of the safest forms of transportation there is and yet this fact has very little to do with the absolute terror that some people experience at the thought of air travel. This fear is so intense, that whenever possible, many people will find alternative ways to travel to their destination - or just not go at all. Others will consult with their doctors and are prescribed medication to help them relax during the flight.
What causes such great fear?
The emotions that come with the fear of flying stem from many sources but the most common factor is the feeling of not being in control. The person may feel helpless and trapped because unlike car travel they cannot just pull over and get out or even open a window.
Other components of this phobia may include the fear of heights (acrophobia) and the fear of enclosed spaces (claustrophobia). For others, the thought of turbulence and the fear of crashing is enough to keep them on the ground.
Although Aviophobia has always been noted as one of the most common phobias, the fear of flying has increased dramatically since the events of 9/11. Now we have added fears of hijacking and terrorism to an already anxious and stressful situation.
The Physical Symptoms:
The physical and emotional reactions of someone with Aviophobia are just real as if something dangerous actually were happening. For some people the mere sight of an aircraft can trigger a panic attack.
Some common symptoms are as follows:
Muscle tension and or tremors.
Difficulty in breathing.
Dry mouth, flushed or pale face.
Chest pain and heart palpitations.
Abdominal discomfort and or vomiting.
Sweating, dizziness, and weakness.
Aviophobia is one of several kinds of anxiety disorders. The fear is more concerned with what might happen than the actual risk involved. Statistically speaking, flying is much safer than driving a car, however for individual who is afraid to fly, statistics are usually not relevant to the fear.

Are you looking for an aviophobia treatment without medication? Then you should set aside five minutes to read this article.
Aviophobia is when you are afraid of flying. It is a quite common fear, even though flying is one of the safest modes of transportation when you look at the statistics. Yet, the idea of sitting in a huge machines that weights tens of tons flying thousands of feet high in the sky doesn't make you feel safe at all. No surprise here.
Among the people with aviophobia are also celebrities like Jennifer Aniston, Cher, Colin Farrell, Whitney Houston, Enrique Iglesias, Jay Leno and others.
Lots of people are using benzodiazepines or other drugs with similar effects to calm their anxiety. While medication actually does provide temporary relief from anxiety, in the long term it can cause more problems.
The Stanford University School of Medicine conducted a study to find out what the long-term effects of using medication to calm your nerves are for people with aviophobia.
It found out that people who fly without medication gradually become more and more accustomed to flying, and are able to relax more and feel more comfortable with each flight. People who take medication however tend to experience anxiety and panic attacks more often in the same conditions.
Systematic desensitization is a common non-pharmacological aviophobia treatment. It basically means that you are gradually confronted with the situation that causes you anxiety.
However, it should be noted that systematic desensitization doesn't work as effectively for the fear of flying as it works for many other phobias. One reason is simply that it is not easy to gradually expose a patient to the experience of flying on an airplane.
Even flight simulators don't do a good job of gradually exposing patients to the real experience.
Many hypnotherapists use hypnotic regression techniques to bring a person back to the moment their original phobia first developed. They then try to resolve this phobia with different psychological techniques.
However, this going back into the past approach isn't particularly helpful either as an aviophobia treatment.
What has proven to be most effective to help people to fly without fear is hypnosis that teaches people to better react to worrying thoughts and sensations when sitting on an airplane. Instead of panicking when there are turbulences, they are then able to remain relaxed and calm down their nerves safely and quickly again.

There are on average 659 take offs and landings from London’s Heathrow every day. A total percentage of around 40% of passengers suffer from some degree of anxiety about flying it can be triggered by a number of concerns such as a fear of falling, a fear of take-off and landing, a fear of crashing and a fear of flying over water. Some common symptoms are as follows, muscle tension and or tremors, difficulty breathing, dry mouth flushed or pale face, chest pain and heart palpitations, abdominal discomfort and or vomiting, sweating dizziness and weakness. These odds of death from various cases will prove how little we need to fear flying however. Whether in a streamlined commercial carrier or helicopter. Commercial airline 1in 7 million, bee sting 1 in 5.5,lighning 1 in 1.1,smoking 1 in 600 and heart disease 1in 2. So why exactly are so many people so afraid of modern aviation? Well were here to find out as we travel around the south searching for the answers.
My chat with the air hostess did little to put my mind at ease having flown on multiple occasions beforehand hearing the same corporate Smalltalk my ears had been rattled with so many times before.
The reassurance form Sgt David Gault greatly boosted my confidence he assured me there was a next to know accident rate when it came to casual test flights and flybys but there was never any guarantee that your flight would be a safe one. This again left me with reservation how can a man who loves flying truly understand the mind of one who doesn’t.
I’ve always been one to try new things and many herbal remedies and natural medicines have been in use for centuries to cure anxiety, but honestly how many medieval peasants can say they fancied popping off to Stansted to catch a cheeky off-peak flight to France, so I can say I’m more than a little sceptical.
My GP who had been taking care of my health and wellbeing was once again consistently sympathetic, being patient and taking the time to listen to my concerns and prescribing the most commonly accepted and prescribed dose of valium to consumed exactly 3 hours before my flight.
