The Art of Instrument Flying (Tab Practical Flying Series)

The first two editions of The Art of Instrument Flying earned "Best Technical or Training Book" awards from the Aviation/Space Writer's Association. Now, this comprehensive primer on instrument flying is improved with updated material on GPS, changes in U.S. airspace classifications, and other recent developments in the world of aviation. Drawing upon his solid experience as a pilot, instructor, and writer, author J.R. Williams delivers a clearly written, purely instructional guide to flying aircraft by instruments alone. By excluding extraneous material on flight test preparation, he is able to provide a more thorough, hands-on treatise than other books on instrument flight. Chapters are devoted to topics such as instrument interpretation, physiologcal factors, planning IFR flights, approach angles, Loran-C, and Omega and inertial navigation.
