The Instrument Procedures Handbook is a technical reference manual for
professional pilots who operate under instrument flight rules (IFR). It
provides real-world guidance on how instrument-rated pilots can best use
the system they've trained for, as well as in-depth coverage of
instrument charts and procedures for IFR takeoff, departure, en route,
arrival, approach, and landing.
For every navigation receiver and phase of flight, this handbook details
the required precision that is needed to stay within protected airspace
and make a successful approach. Safety information for relevant subjects
such as runway incursion, land hand hold short operations, controlled
flight into terrain, and human factors issues are covered here. the
emphasis is on airplane operations, but the book also contains a chapter
dedicated to helicopter instrument procedures.
The Instrument Procedures Handbook expands on the FAA's Instrument
Flying Handbook (FAA-H-8083-15) with advanced information for IFR
operations. Airline Transport Pilots (ATP), Instrument pilots,
Instrument Flight Instructors (CFIIs), and students preparing for the
instrument rating will find this a valuable resource in studying for the
FAA Knowledge Exams and getting ready for their checkrides. Illustrated
throughout with detailed, full-color drawings and photographs; also
includes acronyms list, glossary and index.
