DESCRIPTION:
About the AuthorThe Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), established in 1958, strives to “provide the safest, most efficient aerospace system in the world.”
Stephen J. Temmermand said FAA's Insturment Flying handbook is great. The FAA's Instrument Flying Handbook - "FAA's Insturment Flying handbook is great" according to Stephen J. Temmermand. The FAA's Instrument Flying Handbook - 2008 Edition. As an instructor, I believe that this edition is a "must have" for any pilot.The book is well organized around reviewing the basics and then adding new information; it has great graphics and photos, promoting greater understanding of all major concepts of flight under VFR and IFR in very simple ways; and it explains FAA operations so clearly that pilots who have read this book will know what controllers expect from them.The graphics include lots of examples of both steam gauges. 008 Edition.

Beware of scams 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.. "Well written reference for the instrument pilot" according to Amazon Customer. How well this book is written was a pleasant surprise. I've found it easy to read, and pretty helpful with the basics of instrument flying.I've been using this book as a supplement with the Ralph Butcher Instrument Pilot Flight Training Manual and the Jeppesen instrument book. To be honest, this FAA book would stand on it's own as a good theory book and looks to have most of the info necessary to pass the written.Combined with the price, it's an excellent edition to your flight library.Safe flying!Tom
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), established in 1958, strives to “provide the safest, most efficient aerospace system in the world.”
This handbook adopts selected methods and concepts for instrument flying. Clearance shorthand and an integrated instrument lesson guide are also included.. There are different ways of teaching, as well as performing, flight procedures and maneuvers and many variations in the explanations of aerodynamic theories and principles. This handbook conforms to pilot training and certification concepts established by the FAA. Other Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) publications should be consulted for more detailed information on related topics. The discussion and explanations reflect the most commonly used practices and principles. Instructors may find this handbook a valuable training aid as it includes basic reference material for knowledge testing and instrument flight training. The use of such language is not intended to add to, interpret, or relieve a duty imposed by Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR). Chapters are dedicated to human and aerodynamic factors affecting instrument flight, the flight instruments, attitude instrument flying for airplanes, basic flight maneuvers used in IMC, att
