A preliminary interview with a psychologist
When you register for the "Stress-Free Flying" workshop, you will receive a questionnaire to determine the origin and nature of your anxiety about flying.
- A month before the workshop, a psychologist from the Anti-Stress Center will contact you for a one-on-one 45-minute interview.
- Together, you will analyze your answers to the questionnaire and create a personalized plan to help you cope with your anxiety.
- This interview is a prerequisite for the one-day workshop.
Get to know the world of aeronautics
The first part of the workshop includes presentations by various professionals. The speakers are active Air France flight personnel who can answer all of your questions.
- An aeronautical stress specialist will discuss stress mechanisms and guide you through breathing, muscular, and mental relaxation exercises.
- A flight attendant will explain their job, training, and role in ensuring flight safety.
- A pilot will walk you through aerodynamic principles and introduce you to aeronautics. They will help you understand "air holes," turbulence, and how an aircraft flies.
Experience the cockpit in a simulator
Begin with theory, then move on to practice. Climb aboard an Air France flight simulator, a replica of the cockpit of one of the aircraft in our fleet. This device is located at the Air France pilot training center at Paris-Charles de Gaulle.
- The simulator reproduces all the movements of an aircraft. You will be able to experience everything from turbulence to emergency procedures and observe how everything is designed to keep you safe.
- After leaving the flight simulator, you will debrief with the team to assess how your day went.
After the workshop
- For 12 months, you can inform us by email of your flight bookings with Air France, Hop, and Transavia.
- The crew will be informed of your participation in this workshop and will make every effort to offer you special care whenever possible.
