First Sentence
Patrick Bradley: It didn't take long after I got my private pilot's license for me to learn that there were distinct limitations in being banished from the clouds: the vacations that I spent 200 miles from my planned destination because of stalled fronts, the canceled trips and disappointed friends who found it difficult convincing me that they understood how the weather could be fine at our departure point and crummy at our destination.

1.0 out of 5 stars
This book did not focus on reviewing IFR flying., Nov 4 1998
By Lloyd - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Instrument Flying Refresher (Hardcover)
I was disappointed in this book especially since the title contained the word "Refresher". Instead of the book focusing on IFR flying and new techniques, the book turned out to be a collection of short stories and dialog about IFR flying as told by the author.For a better "refresher" on IFR flying, I would recommend "Instrument Flying" (4th edition) by Richard L. Taylor, which is better orgainized, and does give tips on the art of instrument flying.

IFR or IFR, Jun 16 2002
By David G. Hart - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Instrument Flying Refresher (Hardcover)
I bought this book to use as an IFR refresher without really looking into the content. When I actually got around to reading the book, I was at first disappointed because I had expected a technical review of the hands on techniques for IFR flight.After reading the first chapter I got the point. Apart from the pretty good read and interesting actual examples, I realized that one of the most important aspects to IFR flight is good pilot judgement.
Poor judgement is what kills most pilots (and passengers) and IFR flight is a most risky activity. Not that technical skill is not important, it is. But pilot judgement skills are often neglected and under appreciated.
The book is well written and the accounts of both personal flights (from two different perspectives) and industry accidents are very instructive and interesting.
Highly recommended for those wanting to go beyond the basic skills. This book is not for new IFR students. I am recommending this book to my experienced students.
