Synopsis

Benefit from the Experience of Hundreds of Pilots. Howard Fried, legendary flight instructor, shares what every pilot - the experienced as well as the newly minted aviator - most needs to know about flying: the invaluable lessons learned by trial and error, recounted through real-life experiences of hundreds of pilots. Everyone knows that a successful checkride just earns you the "license to learn."To be a truly proficient aviator, there is much more to master, Fried covers it all: basics that are rarely taught; mastering maneuvers; surviving spins and stalls; pilot error - the human factor; advanced equipment; dangerous weather; the ATC system; and, a great deal more. Like an old-timer telling war stories in the hangar, Fried makes his points with vivid anecdotes collected from more than 50 years' cumulative experience as a pilot and flight instructor. Why not learn from other people's mistakes? Fried asks. It is much easier, and safer, than making them yourself. It could even save your life.
