Yeah , so it means that Thalia just doesn't have the power of flying. or she is too afraid to test if she does. But Percy does have the power. So I guess even if he drowned before he came to know of his powers, he would still not die. | |

We see that in the Blood of Olympus, Jason falls unconscious due to Piper's charmspeak when they're flying through the air and fighting Gaea (Piper tells Gaea to sleep, and affects Jason too). Jason then falls through the air. I don't know about drowning, but this definitely shows that flying is less of an Astro-Boy-type defense mechanism and more of an active ability. Still a thought-provoking answer, let's resolve this discussion and I might mark this one as the answer. | |

Breathing definitely can be, so passing out would help Percy. But flying seems to me more like something that has to be done actively - in which case, anyone who could fly would find themselves in trouble if they ended up unconscious in midair. | |
