Flying IFR

In the fifth edition of Flying IFR, author Richard Collins covers all aspects of modern IFR flying, including the perfection of basic attitude instrument flight; light airplane operation in the middle high-altitudes beginning at 18,000 feet; IFR flight in and around ice thunderstorms, and at night; best practices in new, modern glass cockpits; and managing stress.


Invaluable discussions on instrument airmanship, weather analysis, flight planning, decision making, handling equipment glitches, and that critical survival skill—partial panel flying—are all covered in this book. The only tests for which Flying IFR prepares the reader for are the ones encountered on actual IFR flights. Where the initial instrument checkride leaves off with the applicant receiving a "dry" instrument ticket, this book provides the information necessary to "get it wet."
