Richard Collins at his best,
By Lary Zappia (Toronto, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Flying IFR: The Practical Information You Need to Fly Actual IFR Flights (Paperback)
Clear, concise, informative. Pure Dick Collins - a condensation of years of experience and thousands of IFR flight hours. A delightful and extremely useful insight on how to prepare for and how to cope with our time spent in the clouds. Both novice and seasoned pilots will find this book to fill a huge gap in their library: no other book so thoroughly and systematically reminds you on what it takes to complete a safe (single pilot) general aviation IFR flight. "Flying IFR" is an easy read that goes beyond what you need to know to get your instrument ticket and how to use it with ease and confidence.

Required Reading for the Instrument Pilot,
By J. Civitano "Convective Activity Capital of t... - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Flying IFR: The Practical Information You Need to Fly Actual IFR Flights (Paperback)
This is bar none THE BEST aviation book I've ever read. It is not a text book. There are no end of chapter quizes or multiple choice questions. It is a very intresting book to read, keeps you wanting to turn the page. Lots of highly useful, PRACTICAL information in this book about flying in ACTUAL IMC. I reccomend that anyone who is intrested in IFR flying read this book. It may even save your life. I've been instrument rated since 2001 and I read this book cover to cover about once a year just to refresh myself. Each time I read it again, I gain something out of it. Read the book.. Fly a few actual IMC flights... Read the book again.. I feel like I can almost hear Dick's voice in my head when I fly in IMC.

Great Confidence Builder,
By Robert Antolick "Mooney Man" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Flying IFR: The Practical Information You Need to Fly Actual IFR Flights (Paperback)
This book gave me the technigues, knowledge, and confidence to take my instrument flying to the next level. The book provides practical knowleged and insite on what to expect when you "punch into the clouds." I now use my airplane to its maximum utility, but still have respect for the weather. I no longer cancel flights due to overcast skies. I plan accordingly, avoid the thunderstorms, and confidently shoot instrument approaches. I highly recommend this book for the instrument rated pilot who is a little bit nervous about taking their personal plane into the clouds.

Begin Real Life IFR Training...,
By W. D. McCormack "Dan McCormack" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Flying IFR: The Practical Information You Need to Fly Actual IFR Flights (Paperback)
After you pass the instrument check ride, the most daunting task is actually launching into IMC. Before you do, leave the test prep behind, read this book, and begin working towards actual IFR proficiency.Once again, Dick Collins shares his extensive experience in a well-written, information-filled text that every IFR pilot should read and heed. |
