 Best Refresher for Instrument Oral September 19, 2008
This is the best book I know of help you begin to understand instrument flying. That said, transitioning to instruments is a big challenge, and I do not know of any single book that will explain instrument flying in an easy to grasp and efficient manner. This is as good as I found, and it is inexpensive. I bought the Jep book too, and I never got through it. It just wastes a lot of paper on stuff you already know (I hope).
The distinction between this book and the Instrument Procedures Handbook is that this book is more for students learning to fly instruments. The Instrument Procedures Handboook is a more detailed look into the instrument flying system. When you begin to actually fly in the system and you want to understand why you get bizarre clearances or why STARS or SIDS are the way they are, this is a book to help you understand why. It helps you file flight plans that are likely to be cleared as filed and less likely to be amended in flight. This in turn reduces your stress.
 Same as FAA book June 12, 2008

Everything in the book is from the FAA Instrument Flying Handbook which was published as printed in this book in 2007. The content is great. All the FAA publications are and none are copyrighted as our tax dollars paid for them. But Sky Horse does not have a right to claim this publication is more recent that what the FAA or others publish.
Beware of scams... December 27, 2006

First off... this is an essential book. Do note that it can be downloaded for free from the FAA:
[...]
...but many times it's better to have the print version. There are some vendors selling illegal CD versions of this on Amazon when you purchased that are not paperback as listed. Do NOT accept this if they send you a CD. Demand the print, book version if you purchase it - and do not tolerate the scams.
