Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel for HEICO Corporation, a Florida corporation
(the "Company"), with respect to the preparation and filing with the Securities
and Exchange Commission of a Form S-8 Registration Statement (the "Registration
Statement") in connection with the registration of 265,076 shares of the
Company's common stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), issuable
pursuant to the HEICO Corporation 1993 Stock Option Plan (the "Plan"). In so
acting, we have examined the originals or copies, certified or otherwise
identified to our satisfaction, of such corporate records, agreements, documents
and other instruments and such certificates or corporate documents of public
officials, and of officers and representatives of the Company, and have made
such inquiries of such officers and representatives of the Company, as we have
deemed relevant and necessary as a basis for the opinion hereinafter set forth.
We have examined the Registration Statement, including all exhibits thereto, as
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the Articles of
Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company, as amended. We have also examined and
are familiar with the proceedings taken by the Company to authorize the issuance
of the shares of the Common Stock pursuant to the Plan.
This opinion has been prepared and is to be construed in accordance
with the Report on Standards For Florida Opinions dated April 8, 1991 issued by
the Business Law Section of The Florida Bar (the "Report"). The Report is
incorporated by reference into this opinion. In rendering the following opinion,
we have made no assumptions other than those set forth in the Report.

Based upon our examination and consideration of the foregoing documents
and information, and in reliance thereon, we are of the opinion that the 265,076
shares of Common Stock registered under the Registration Statement and issuable
in accordance with the Plan will, if and when issued and delivered by the
Company against payment of adequate consideration therefor in accordance with
the Plan, be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
We consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement.
Very truly yours,
STEARNS WEAVER MILLER WEISSLER
ALHADEFF & SITTERSON, P.A.
