| Editorial Review / Publisher's Information:
Product Description
Asserting that a flight certificate is a pilot's ``license to learn,'' this unique book offers valuable lessons learned by veteran pilots. Using the anecdotal style that has made his Flying magazine column so popular, Fried bridges the gap between pilot training and in-flight experience with his advice on vital but often under-emphasized areas of: maneuvering speed; weight and balance; aircraft control; prop safety; night flying; altitude.

Customer Reviews:
• If Your Cfi Didn't Teach You This...... 10 October, 2000
The book is well written and filled with useful information. However, it concerns me that Howard felt that CFIs aren't teaching this information. I purchased it before I finished my flight training and felt that it was a valuable asset to my learning experience.

• Fun Read, But Mostly Anecdotal 23 October, 2001
Not a lot of depth or specific vision in the stories. A fun read, but doesn't quite live up to it's controversial name.

• Some Good Information But A Mixed Bag 26 March, 2002
If your looking for a book jam packed with practical piloting techniques only don't buy the book. At the same time it mostly sticks to title and subtitle. I would give it three and one half stars if there was that option. The book does contain useful information with a broad range of topics from practical information such as landing technique to reasons to be skeptical of the FAA. I will keep the book around to reread.

• Good Info For A Potential Check Ride Applicant 08 September, 2008
Howard's guide will help prepare a new pilot applicant with some inside information that he/she would otherwise not have available. He provided hundreds, if not thousands of check rides in the Detroit and Pontiac area.
