The book has lot of good advices and hints for instrument flying and I learned some really practical things. Maybe there is problem with my sense of humor, but I don't get some jokes and they sometimes confused and distracted me while reading. It seams that so formal and structured material as IFR procedures doesn't fit well with humor. Although, I must admit that there are also a few good ones. Proposal is: read it, especially if you are beginner in IFR. Experienced pilots should more skim then read the book, but they could also find it usefull.

This is undoubtedly the best IFR instruction and reference book on the market. It is easy to read -- keeps the reader engaged through mild humour and relevancy. I used it in conjunction with Instrument Ground School and continue to go back to it for an easy to use reference. I've bought and read many books on instrument flying, and for a basic book, I found Rod Machado's book to be number one.

This book is one of the more difficult to review. While I'm still gleaning important information from it, I find it hard to pick up and read through. I think the busy page layout is distracting, while the text is informative, though sometimes long-winded.
Rod's humour is of the "love-it-or-hate-it" variety, therefore each reader will have strong opinions one way or the other. Howver, even if you hate it, it isn't as distracting as some reviewers would have you believe. When you see a joke coming, skip ahead to the subsequent bit of critical flying information.
My bias is towards the Richard Collins approach, but I can appreciate the niche Rod Machado has carved out in the sometimes overly staid aviation world.
I'd suggest new instrument pilots strongly consider adding this book to their library.

Rod writes well and presents quite a bit of info that is either not found elsewhere or is explained much better than otherwise found from other sources.
But!!! I bought the book to LEARN material and not to read as a novel. Every page contains "humor" or not. Thus, you end up reading quite a bit of material which is of either no importance and or wrong. Like if he explained how to land upside down, then you have to think about it and realize it's a joke and then have a little ha, ha. But, when trying to learn, you just wasted a lot of time thinking about the joke. Perhaps even to the point of confusing you when later given a written or oral question.
If you already have your rating for which the book is intended, then reading this book at your leisure while enjoying the humour and looking for a few nuggets of wisdom, then that's great. But, as an adjunct of other studying for an upcoming rating, I'd recommend you skip this book. If you can pick it up at a store and read a dozen pages, then you may decide against this review, which would be fine.
