Product Description

An excellent resource for instrument-rated pilots who want to learn how to maximize their skills in an "Instrument Flight Rules" (IFR) environment, this revised handbook contains up-to-date information, the latest changes to procedures, and even more insights and guidance on how to operate safely within the National Airspace System. In-depth sections cover all phases of flight from takeoff to landing, including detailed coverage of instrument charts; takeoff, en route, approach, and landing procedures; human factors; land and hold short operations; and runway incursions. Intended primarily as a technical reference for professional pilots, the added glossary, index, full-color photos, and illustrations make this a valuable training aid for flight instructors, instrument pilots, and students.

FAR Flying Manuals5
I was pleased to be able to find an official FAA publication in the Amazon bookstore. It means more to me as a certificated flight instructor to find this manual here than anywhere else. I can direct my students here and know they will be able to purchase it.
The book content is pretty dry if you aren't a pilot with an instrument rating!

Instrument Flying for GA and Airliner Procedures4
Being a former GA CPL (VFR limited but passed Instrument GS and had about fifteen hours under the hood, I find this more current and advanced manual than earlier versions much more comprehensive. Being an avid flight simulation enthusiats and beta tester for an ATC product for these simulation hobbyist(?) applications I find its thorough coverage with clear explanations including diagrams and other illustrations appropriate for both private and commercial GA and airliner operations, that all of the procedures are there for the smaller feeder and isolated airports as well as the larger ones.

All phases of controlled flight are covered and additional material beyond the more basic FAA published Instrument Flying Handbook is presented with updated illustrations. All classes of airspace including Class B and C areas are covered.

The serious flight simulation enthusiast as well as real world pilots I believe will find this a very beneficial support document for both training and reference.
