The Instrument Flight Manual contains everything students need to know to obtain an FAA instrument rating, and serves as a great reference source for the instrument pilot needing a refresher. In this eighth edition, author William K. Kershner presents the basics of instrument flying in an easy-to-grasp, straightforward, and conversational writing style, supported by 280 figures, charts, and drawings that aid understanding throughout.
Covered subjects include airplane performance and basic instrument flying, navigation and communications, clearances, and planning an IFR flight, before walking through the instrument flight itself — from preflight, takeoff, and departure, through the en route phase, to the approach and landing. This softcover book also helps prepare students for the knowledge and practical tests, with the opportunity to practice a full scenario flight, including clearances, from start to finish.
A comprehensive Instrument Rating Syllabus is included for both the instrument trainee and the CFII, making this textbook a valuable learning resource for both to consult while completing the last steps toward the instrument rating. With over six decades of experience as pilot-in-command in more than 100 types and models of airplanes, Bill Kershner was named FAA/General Aviation Flight Instructor of the Year in 1992 and Elder Statesman of Aviation in 1997 — expertise that comes through clearly in this trusted, longstanding training resource.
