Flying gives the aviator a sense of power and control. Aviators challenge their own skills and test the physical limitations of the plane. They must maintain the balance between fear and joy, sacrifice and love, and risks and rewards of flying in order to continue to fly without reservation. Flying is dangerous. The danger is both real and symbolic, generating fears and anxiety. Interpretation of fear of flying spans from the psychoanalytic-endogenous on one side to the behaviouristic-exogenous on the other side. Unless strictly understood, both models should be taken to consider the interaction between the endogenous and exogenous factors. The therapy of the fear of flying is based on the correlation between the symptoms and underlying dynamics. The prognosis depends on the ability to work through those psychodynamic conflicts. Aviators may continue to fly if the symptoms are minor and the motivation to resolve conflicts is high.
飞行赋予飞行员一种力量感和掌控感。飞行员挑战自身技能，测试飞机的物理极限。他们必须在恐惧与喜悦、牺牲与热爱以及飞行的风险与回报之间保持平衡，以便毫无保留地继续飞行。飞行是危险的。这种危险既真实又具有象征意义，会引发恐惧和焦虑。对飞行恐惧的解释从精神分析的内源性一端到行为主义的外源性一端。除非严格理解，否则这两种模式都应被视为考虑内源性和外源性因素之间的相互作用。飞行恐惧的治疗基于症状与潜在动力之间的关联。预后取决于解决这些心理动力冲突的能力。如果症状较轻且解决冲突的动机强烈，飞行员可能会继续飞行。
