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.
