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.
Violation: FAA Enforcement Actions is an Aero-Legal Resource Guide and a MUST read for everyone who deals with the world of aviation-and wants to remain free to do so.
Afraid of getting busted by the FAA?
A good pilot now has to know about far more than "just" aeronautics, meteorology, communications and the regs...he/she now has to understand the intricate legalities of operating as an Airman under the FAA/NTSB's convoluted and bureaucratic Administrative Legal system. The aviation legal system DOES NOT work like the courts of law we've come to know and love. As a matter of fact, virtually any common criminal has more right under the law to justice, than ANY pilot or aviation professional does when he or she faces the FAA over an alleged infraction.
It's a complicated and difficult system and a complicated, difficult process to deal with the FAA and NTSB. But Howard Fried, an aviation writer with immense backgroud in law, aviation, and consumer activism, has produced THE book that every Airman needs whenever they face an FAA Violation. An FAA Designated Pilot Examiner for many years, Howard also possesses a law degree, has thousands of hours of flight time and the experience of having battled the FAA and NTSB on several fronts. Fried is an excellent and impassioned instructor to all those who want to stay abreast of aviation legal matters and deal with the immense repercussions that can occur to those ignorant of a process that does not often seem fair or just.
