5.0 out of 5 stars
Well written reference for the instrument pilot,
By Tommy (Naperville, Illinois United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Instrument Flying Handbook (FAA Handbook) (Paperback)
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

Beware of scams...,

This review is from: Instrument Flying Handbook (FAA Handbook) (Paperback)
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.

Excellent Text,
By J. P. Wakamatsu (Wyoming) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Instrument Flying Handbook (FAA Handbook) (Paperback)
A nice primer to instrument flying. Combine this with the ASA Instrument Rating Test Prep book and you pretty much have a self-contained instrument ground school for around $30.
