Continued VFR into IFR conditions persists as the most frequent cause of weather-related accidents. This book provides the bare-bones essentials of instrument flying technique and procedures so urgently needed in order to cope with and survive an inadvertent encounter with low-visibility IFR conditions.
For this "IFR survival guide," Richard Taylor has adapted the key lifesaving elements of IFR discipline to the average VFR pilot's capabilities. Here are complete instructions in a simplified "hands-off" flying technique that minimizes the risks of loss of control when outside visual clues are lost. The physiological causes of spatial disorientation are explained, giving valuable insights into IFR's most treacherous aspect. A chapter contributed by noted pscyhologist and flight instructor Dr. Jerald Cockrell tells how to control fear and panic the cockpit.

Should Air Traffic Control assistance be necessary, IFR for VFR Pilots tells how to communicate effectively and how to use ATC to fly out of a low-visibility predicament. The book guides you step-by-step through the essential procedures of DF steers, radar vectors, and other ATC "assists." VOR and DF fixes, VOR approaches, low-visibility landing technique, even the missed approach, are clearly explained with typical Taylor expertise.

IFR for VFR Pilots is a must for all fair-weather fliers, however proficient and cautious they may be. Its no-nonsense approach has a lot to say to the seasoned instrument-rated pilot as well. Second Edition. Soft cover, illustrated and indexed, 138 pages.

In Northern Europe it is rare to see two consecutive days when the weather is perfect for flight without reference to instruments. If a pilot wants to operate in the greatest variety of weather conditions and airspace, he must be capable of interpreting the instruments and must know and understand the procedures that have been designed to safely transport an aircraft and its passengers from one airport to another, in even the most difficult of weather conditions and exacting of airspace.

This book is principally intended to help prepare a pilot to pass – first time – what is regarded as the most demanding flight test in the world, the JAA Instrument Rating. It will also provide some useful tips for general instrument flying, and will be a handy reference manual for pilots looking to renew their instrument qualifications.

Subjects covered include:· Instrument flight· Use of radio navigation aids· Let down and approach procedures for both ILS and NDBAirways flight· The Instrument Rating Test· How to pass!

This high quality book offers a unique learning method from which you can comprehend Radio Navigation with ease and become a more proficient and confident pilot. With 1200 full colour briliantly clear illustrations all the various problems of radio navigation are covered and will be of great help to Students, Instructors, Commercial Pilots and all users of Flight Simulators. 'With this book you will learn not only to interpret the indication on your instrument with the position of the aircraft in relation to the radio beacon but also "to oneself". The instrument indication and the chart excerpt with the drawn in aircraft and its position right next to it perfectly teach a spatial perception and the ability to fly according to IFR. This is also the first book for VFR pilots which explains in plain and understandable manner the pilot's navigational environment. Large colored illustrations provide an enjoyable reading of the book. Many drawings clarify the connection between practice and theory or ease the interpretation of one's own position. Especially the approaches like ILS, NDB-DME or just NDB are well illustrated. Numerous exercises in the appendix are a perfect supplement to the training material.'

This self-teach, interactive, multimedia CD-ROM contains comprehensive lessons covering the UK IMC Rating ground and flight training syllabi. The scope of the course is vast, enabling you to prepare for the ground examination and practical flying test for the IMC Rating more thoroughly, effectively and enjoyably than is possible using traditional study methods. The CD-ROM even includes a beacon-recognition Morse tutor.

Created by flight and ground instructors of Oxford Aviation Training, this CD-ROM also offers an excellent grounding in the theory and practice of instrument flying for those pilots embarking on the full JAR-FCL Instrument Rating course.
As a General Aviation pilot with a current IMC Rating (IMC stands for Instrument Meteorological Conditions), you will possess the skills and qualification to fly your aircraft by sole reference to instruments, and be qualified to fly in a wider range of meteorological conditions than the pilot who holds just the basic PPL. For instance, outside controlled airspace, and in both Class D and E Airspace, the IMC Rating will permit you to fly out of sight of the surface, in cloud, and to take off in reduced visibility, and land from an Instrument Approach Procedure.
