This valuable one-stop handbook contains the information necessary to:
 Fly instruments as a knowledgeable and competent pilot.
Prepare for the FAA instrument pilot knowledge exam.
Prepare for the instrument pilot practical oral exam.
Refresh for your instrument proficiency check.
Remain an up-to-date confident instrument pilot.
As a comprehensive information source book, these pages include:
1. Simplification of the FAA’s instrument scan concepts/procedures and a cockpit-practical, step-by-step instrument scan technique.
2. The latest information on aviation decision making for instrument pilots.
3. Detailed understanding of analog and glass (PFD) flight instruments.
4. Step-by-step procedures for planning an IFR cross-country flight.
5. Easy to apply navigation methods for VOR, GPS and ADF.
6. Clear, down-to-earth explanations of pertinent FARs, including instrument currency, lost comm, alternate requirements, etc.
7. Step-by-step explanation of how instrument approach charts are constructed, including MDAs, DAs, procedure turns, etc.
8. Practical understanding of the IFR system, GPS procedures, icing and thunderstorm avoidance, NEXRAD, radar, and more.
Note: The Instrument Pilot's Handbook shown here is different from the Instrument Pilot's Survival Manual. The Instrument Pilot's Survival Manual is intended as a supplement for IFR training, sort of a "how to" manual for the cockpit. It contains many useful flight training tools and instrument flying techniques for the beginning and experienced instrument pilot. The "new" Instrument Pilot's Handbook is intended as a broad-based, general and advanced, instrument knowledge book for both beginning and experienced instrument pilots. It provides the necessary information to pass the FAA's instrument pilots knowledge exam, the IFR practical oral exam, the instrument proficiency check, as well as providing a comprehensive understanding of instrument flying knowledge. Many pilots recommend adding both of these books in your library.

In my nearly 6 years as a CFII, I finally think I have found the textbook I have been looking for to help those seeking an instrument rating and recurrent training (along with a darn good reference)... an instrument book that is comprehensive AND doesn’t put readers to sleep.

This book is not the Instrument Pilot’s Survival Guide – probably the best supplement for IFR training there is – but, and oh how I hate to be serious when it comes to flying, this is more a Magnum Opus… somebody is paying attention to how a person learns rather than providing the official prison from which the law requires us to escape. Machado’s IFR Handbook takes -----‘s mysterious awakening far beyond that. Outstanding! Truly.

I am so glad that Rod has written a book for instrument pilots. His Private Pilot Handbook has helped me beyond measure to understand basic aviation. I am now on the road to becoming a CFI and I am going to use Rod’s products for teaching. Thank you, Rod, for being a true friend to student pilots everywhere for books that are fun and make learning a labor of love.
