This money-saving eBundle includes both the Instrument Flying Handbook softcover Book and ASA eBook PDF.
This is the FAA’s primary pilot resource for instrument flight rules
(IFR) covering everything pertinent to operating an aircraft in
instrument meteorological conditions (IMC) or without reference to
outside visuals, relying solely on the information gleaned from the
cockpit. Readers will find chapters on the national airspace system, the
air traffic control system, human factors, aerodynamics, flight
instruments, flight maneuvers for IFR operations, navigation, emergency
operations, as well as helicopter operations and more.
The material in this manual applies to both conventional
“steam-gauge” analog instrumentation and the “glass cockpit” electronic
flight displays found in advanced aircraft. Information is well
organized into separate coverage of the traditional “6-pack” and
discussions of pictorial “tape” displays. Advanced systems are covered,
including flight management systems, the primary flight display (PFD)
and multi-function display (MFD), synthetic vision, and traffic advisory
systems. The book also features a synopsis of instrument clearance
shorthand, as well as an instrument training lesson guide.
The Instrument Flying Handbook is designed for use by flight
instructors, pilots preparing for the Instrument Rating FAA Knowledge
and Practical Exams, and instrument-rated pilots looking for a refresher
or preparing for an Instrument Proficiency Check (IPC). Illustrated
throughout with detailed, full-color drawings and photographs;
comprehensive glossary and index.
