2.0 out of 5 stars Over-complicated and unclear 11 Jan 2002
By A Customer
I have struggled to find a good book on IMC flying, and this is not it either! I found myself doing cartwheels in my head trying to understand Thom's stuff on ADF tracking, hold entries and so on.

Ultimately there's no substitute for getting in a plane and flying, but personally I found Richard Collin's book on instrument flying much easier to get a grasp of what I was supposed to be doing. The Thom one is more analytical, more of a straight text book, and the Collins one is American oriented.

For me the bottom line is that while Thom may be the only book which deals directly with the IMC course, it's not particularly well written, and at times makes the whole thing more complicated than it actually is.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exactly what I wanted 22 Mar 2013
By Bigglesthefrog
Amazon Verified Purchase
The book arrived quickly and well packed. The description made clear that there was a small amount of water marking at the bottom of the book and whilst this was true, it did not cause me any inconvenience and was reflected in the very good value of the buying price.
The book is a tutorial and reference book and was invaluable in my studies for an IMC rating to bolt onto my existing Private Pilots License

5.0 out of 5 stars A must for the IMC rating or just improving your navigation 24 Oct 2001
By A Customer
As usual Trevor Thomm has put together a definitive and concise volume for anyone contemplating doing an IMC or Night rating. The text covers all the relevant aspects of these in a clear and logical way. The section on instrument navigation is very good but does not delve too deeply in to GPS and RNAV systems. It is based mainly on the requirements for the IMC rating but also includes a section on night flying. Overall a must for the IMC rating or just improving your radio navigation skills.
