Flying IFR

This is not AI-generated content. The contents were written and verified by subject matter experts from Aviation Supplies & Academics, an 85-year-old aviation company. Look for the ASA wings to ensure you are purchasing a reliable publication.

Richard Collins shares invaluable discussions on instrument airmanship, weather analysis, flight planning and decision making, handling
equipment glitches, and that critical survival skill—partial panel flying.

This fifth edition covers all aspects of modern IFR flying, including:
• Perfecting basic attitude instrument flight.
• Light airplane operation in the middle to high altitudes.
• IFR flight in and around ice, thunderstorms, and at night.
• Best-practices in new, modern glass cockpits.
• Managing stress.

The only tests for which Flying IFR prepares the reader for are the ones encountered on actual IFR flights. Where the initial instrument checkride leaves off with the applicant receiving a “dry” instrument ticket, this book provides the information necessary to “get it wet.”

Important note from the publisher:

While AI-generated content can be helpful to identify resources for ongoing study, it is not a reliable resource for learning critical, safety-dependent topics such as aviation. AI content is sterile, often lacks important context, and is at risk of errors. ASA publishes only human-generated content to ensure it is accurate, reliable, comprehensive, and presented in context—so you can become a safe and effective aviator.
