Learn 'All Things IFR' From One Of The Best
How much airspace is protected on a
missed approach? Who's the pilot-in-command on an instrument
training flight? What's WAAS? Do you really need RAIM? What are the
three different types of runways? Who's your PAPI? What is the
adiabatic lapse rate, and why would an instrument pilot care?
The answers to all things IFR can be found in the just-released
Rod Machado's Instrument Pilot's Handbook. Whether pilots are
airline aces, corporate captains, or instrument pilot wannabes,
this 624 page book is the ultimate go-to source for up-to-date
information about every aspect of the instrument flying experience.
It can be used to study for the FAA instrument written exam,
prepare for flight reviews... or settle rainy day hangar arguments
involving arcane-yet-interesting recesses of the aviation
rulebook.
Written in the fun and accessible style that has made Machado a
highly popular public speaker, the words are complemented by more
than 1400 pictures and illustrations that are virtually a book in
themselves. Along the way, readers find not only all the
information they need to answer questions on the FAA's instrument
pilot written exam, but an in-depth explanation of why the answers
are what they are.
"My goal was to make learning about instrument flying fun,
personal, and complete." said Machado. Mission accomplished,
according to national Flight Instructor of the Year, Captain Alan
Englehardt.
"This book is written as though the material is being explained
one-on-one, compliments of the chief instructor," Englehardt tells
ANN. "I certainly recommend it to anyone who's really serious about
learning instrument flying. The new instrument manual is another
masterpiece of information."
Rod Machado's Instrument Pilot's Handbook includes tips to
simplify the FAA's scan concepts into an easily-remembered,
practical, step-by-step technique, and presents information on
aviation decision making skills. The book also explains the latest
in analog and glass panel instruments, and walks the pilot through
the planning of an actual instrument cross-country flight.
In addition, the book also provides down-to-earth, easily
understood explanations of instrument regulations, including lost
communication procedures and instrument currency requirements. It
also takes pilots "behind the scenes" to see how instrument
approach charts are developed.
Rod Machado's Instrument Pilot's Handbook, at 624 full-color
pages, lists for $59.95.
