Instrument Flying

by David Hoy

Overview

This book is designed to supplement the instruction a student receives during his or her course. The Instrument Rating is a test of not only the student's ability to fly accurately on Instruments, the foundation, but also the ability to cope under a number of pressures. Instrument Flying is intended to help prepare the student to pass what is regarded as probably the most demanding flight tests in the world, the JAA Instrument Rating. It will also provide some useful tips and reminders when the IR renewal is due. Subjects covered include: Instrument Flight; Use of Radio Navigation Aids; Let Down and Approach Procedures for both ILS and NDB; Airways Flight; The Instrument Rating Test. Illustrated with between 20 - 30 exercise charts.
