Instrument Flying Handbook
21 Jan 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Everything one (an amateur like me, SIM person) needs to know about flying is between these two book covers. Covers all subjects that one needs to know and understand. Excellent presentation, great graphics and very clear pictures. Cuts down a lot of searching on the Internet and it's all available in a compact format and easy to understand.
The service from Amazon is excellent. Great selection and effective search mechanism and impressive delivery.
Thank you.

Format:Paperback
This book deals mainly with the basic "old" stuff.
I was expecting to get much more information on using modern navigation systems that are common today - GPS, FMS, EFIS etc.
