Customer Reviews

One of the best books in Aviation

This book is really nice and is worth the price. Didn't regret i bought this book. Really polished from the cover 'til the last page!

Good info for a potential check ride applicant

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.

Very useful, full of common sense

Beyond The Checkride (What your instructor never taught you) Once I began reading. I completed the book the same day. Although I am a new pilot, (250 hrs) I believe any pilot would gain new insights from Howards common sense, tell it like it is approach.

Really learned a lot!

I am a pretty new private pilot and the title grabbed my attention. I read and enjoyed the vast majority of the content and gained valuable insight from a definite pro. Mr. Fried's writing style is very informal (almost too much so) and I finished the book in two days. This book is for anyone who is interested in improving their understanding of important concepts that may have been only briefly touched on during their training.

Good ! All the flying wisdom packed into this is worth more.

A collection of essays and snippets that contain experiences and wisdom not easily found elsewhere. Can be read in any order(chapter). What bothered me was the subtitle - 'What your Flight Instructor never taught you'; so I had to leave it in the car or home. Couldn't bring it into flight school :)
