EYE OF Experience IV (Vol. 4)

With over half a century and forty thousand hours of experience Howard Fried offers a wealth of insight on matters aeronautical. Although he has never practiced law, he has a law degree and has passed the Michigan Bar.
Howard Fried trained in the U. S. Army Air Corps during World War II and has an excess of 40,000 hours of flight experience in all types of General Aviation airplanes, both normally aspirated and turbocharged as well as several turbo props and jets. Fried has flown everything from 40 horsepower Cubs to Citations and Lear Jets, from gliders to floatplanes. Fried founded a very active flight school in 1964 where he trained pilots for all certificates and ratings.

In a career spanning seventeen years as a Designated Pilot Examiner until victimized by rogue FAA officials, he administered over four thousand certification flight tests for all certificates and ratings. Fried is a lecturer and speaker on Aviation Education and Safety and an expert witness in aviation litigation.

Throughout his entire career he has dealt with the "friendly feds" and has come to know a great deal about the inner workings of the only agency of the United States Government that is authorized to promulgate and enfore its own rules.

Howard Fried shares over fifty years and forty thousand hours of experience with pilots all over the world every four weeks with his column, "The Eye of Experience," in AVweb, the bi-weekly aviation news magazine. Now all of the experience he has shared in his columns can be yours to keep in book form.

With over fifty-five years and forty thousand hours of experience, as a flight school operator, flight instructor, and Designated Pilot Examiner who has administered over four thousand certification flight tests, one might think he has seen it all, but far from claiming he has seen it all, Fried says he is constantly surprised by the things both students and certified pilots do. In his seventies, Howard Fried is still an active flight instructor. He enjoys teaching because it presents an opportunity to pass his love of aviation along to others.

Knowledge comes from experience and experience comes from mistakes. We can do it the hard way-- make the mistakes ourselves--or we can learn from the mistakes of others. Which will it be? Frieds books help with the easy way.

The 4th and final volume of The Eye of Experience is now being printed. It is bigger and better than ever. More pages, more columns, more pictures, more letters--more of everything!
