Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) piloting is perhaps the most challenging skill that an aviator can master. This invaluable IFR manual details the IFR system and equipment and features discussions on instrument airmanship, weather analysis, flight planning and decision-making, handling equipment malfunctions, and the crucial ability to fly safely with a partial instrument panel.

5.0 out of 5 stars Required Reading for the Instrument Pilot, July 21, 2007
This review is from: Flying IFR: The Practical Information You Need to Fly Actual IFR Flights (General Aviation Reading series) (Paperback)
This is bar none THE BEST aviation book I've ever read. It is not a text book. There are no end of chapter quizes or multiple choice questions. It is a very intresting book to read, keeps you wanting to turn the page. Lots of highly useful, PRACTICAL information in this book about flying in ACTUAL IMC. I reccomend that anyone who is intrested in IFR flying read this book. It may even save your life. I've been instrument rated since 2001 and I read this book cover to cover about once a year just to refresh myself. Each time I read it again, I gain something out of it. Read the book.. Fly a few actual IMC flights... Read the book again.. I feel like I can almost hear Dick's voice in my head when I fly in IMC.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Confidence Builder, November 13, 2004
This review is from: Flying IFR: The Practical Information You Need to Fly Actual IFR Flights (General Aviation Reading series) (Paperback)
This book gave me the technigues, knowledge, and confidence to take my instrument flying to the next level. The book provides practical knowleged and insite on what to expect when you "punch into the clouds." I now use my airplane to its maximum utility, but still have respect for the weather. I no longer cancel flights due to overcast skies. I plan accordingly, avoid the thunderstorms, and confidently shoot instrument approaches. I highly recommend this book for the instrument rated pilot who is a little bit nervous about taking their personal plane into the clouds.

5.0 out of 5 stars Begin Real Life IFR Training..., July 31, 2007
This review is from: Flying IFR: The Practical Information You Need to Fly Actual IFR Flights (General Aviation Reading series) (Paperback)
After you pass the instrument check ride, the most daunting task is actually launching into IMC. Before you do, leave the test prep behind, read this book, and begin working towards actual IFR proficiency.

Once again, Dick Collins shares his extensive experience in a well-written, information-filled text that every IFR pilot should read and heed.

3.0 out of 5 stars Flying IFR Book Review
Good reading but it's more an anecdotal novella -- I was hoping for more actual hands on tips and IFR flying course review type material.
