This book is adapted from the syllabus for Professional Instrument Courses. PIC trains pilots for their instrument rating in 10 days, in part due to their excellent teaching aid/syllabus. This book not only covers all you need to learn how to fly on the instruments, it does it in a clear and simple manner. Numerous photos and illustrations clarify important concepts. In addition the newest technology like GPS is taught. If you are only want 1 book to help with your instrument training this is it.

Instrument flying explained in a way that is more easily understood than any other book ever written. Peter Dogan explains in half the words compared to any other text books. A must for the serious instrument & student pilot.

I am a flight instructor, though I do not work for PIC. I do use this book, and encourage my students to use buy and read it. The straight-forward explanations are effective, and each chapter has a real-life story that illustrates the concept of the chapter. Each chapter also has a "To the CFII" section that is helpful to instrument students, student CFIIs, and active CFIIs alike.

I just finished my private pilot training. This is a good overview of instrument flying. It is obvious I will need to study books written with greater detail but as a way to get the big picture this book is good.
