Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
An invaluable resource for instrument flight instructors, pilots, and students.
The Federal Aviation Administration's Instrument Flying Handbook provides pilots, student pilots, aviation instructors, and controllers with the knowledge and skills required to operate in instrument meteorological conditions.
Illustrated with full-colour graphics and photographs, topics covered include basic atmospheric science, the air traffic control system, spatial disorientation and optical illusions, flight support systems, and emergency responses. The book's two appendixes contain information on clearance shorthand and an instrument training lesson guide. Readers will also find a handy glossary and index. Since many questions on FAA exams are taken directly from the information presented in this text, the Instrument Flying Handbook is a great study guide for potential pilots looking for certification, and a perfect gift for any aircraft or aeronautical buff. 300 colour illustrations.

This is the best book I know of help you begin to understand instrument flying. That said, transitioning to instruments is a big challenge, and I do not know of any single book that will explain instrument flying in an easy to grasp and efficient manner. This is as good as I found, and it is inexpensive. I bought the Jep book too, and I never got through it. It just wastes a lot of paper on stuff you already know (I hope).
The distinction between this book and the Instrument Procedures Handbook is that this book is more for students learning to fly instruments. The Instrument Procedures Handboook is a more detailed look into the instrument flying system. When you begin to actually fly in the system and you want to understand why you get bizarre clearances or why STARS or SIDS are the way they are, this is a book to help you understand why. It helps you file flight plans that are likely to be cleared as filed and less likely to be amended in flight. This in turn reduces your stress.

Everything in the book is from the FAA Instrument Flying Handbook which was published as printed in this book in 2007. The content is great. All the FAA publications are and none are copyrighted as our tax dollars paid for them. But Sky Horse does not have a right to claim this publication is more recent that what the FAA or others publish.

First off... this is an essential book. Do note that it can be downloaded for free from the FAA:

...but many times it's better to have the print version. There are some vendors selling illegal CD versions of this on Amazon when you purchased that are not paperback as listed. Do NOT accept this if they send you a CD. Demand the print, book version if you purchase it - and do not tolerate the scams.

Covers all IFR basics in an excellent way. Very helpful for the preparation for passing the IFR written test.

The FAA put together a good book for study and review of IFR material. A true one-stop shop for info.
