Description

Everything students need to know to obtain an FAA instrument rating-and a valuable aid to instructors.Also a great reference source for the instrument pilot needing a refresher, this book by William K. Kershner presents the basics of instrument flying in a manner easy to grasp in its straightforward and conversational writing style, with illustrations that aid understanding. Covered subjects include airplane performance and basic instrument flying, navigation and communications, clearances, planning IFR flight, and carrying out the instrument flight itself from preflight, takeoff and departure, en route, through to the approach and landing phases. This book also helps prepare students for the knowledge and practical tests, with an opportunity to practice a scenario flight-including clearances.

To the memory of William Thomas Piper, Sr.

I still remember the courtesy Mr. Piper showed a 7-year-old boy with a kid’s idea for a modification to the Aztec. He took the time from his schedule as president of Piper Aircraft to write me a letter.

Preace and Acknowledgments or the Eighth Edition

My thanks to Laura Fisher, Alex Lorden, and Jackie Spanitz of ASA for their help and input on this eighth edition ofThe Instrument Flight Manual. Thanks also to Donna Webster, designated pilot examiner from Bakersfield, California, who gave me help by explain- ing the Instrument Rating—Airplane Airman Certifica- tion Standards and supplied examples of how she runs an instrument practical test. The prefaces and acknowledgments for the earlier editions are found at the back of the book.

Even though avionics and weather forecasting advancements are making life much easier and safer for the instrument pilot, the majority of the threats are still there. Just as it’s important to continually scan the instruments, it’s critical to scan ahead, both geographi- cally and temporally for threats. Aviate, then Navigate, then Communicate.

William C. Kershner Sewanee, Tennessee
