description: This book allows you to learn everything you need How much airspace is protected on a missed approach? Who's the pilot-in-command on an instrument training flight? What's WAAS? Do you really need RAIM? What are the three different types of runways? Who's your PAPI? What is the adiabatic lapse rate, and why would an instrument pilot care? The answers to all things IFR can be found in the just-released Rod Machado's Instrument Pilot's Handbook. Written in the fun and accessible style that has made Machado a highly popular public speaker, the words are complemented by more than 1,400 pictures and illustrations that are virtually a book in themselves. Along the way, readers find not only all the information they need to answer questions on the FAA's instrument pilot written exam, but an in-depth explanation of why the answers are what they are. Simplifies the FAA's scan concepts into an easily-remembered, practical, step-by-step technique Explains the latest in analog and glass panel instruments Presents information on aviation decision making skills Walks a pilot through the planning of an actual instrument cross-country flight Provides down-to-earth, easily understood explanations of instrument regulations, including lost communication procedures and instrument currency requirements. Takes pilots "behind the scenes" to see how instrument approach charts are developed Discusses techniques and tips for flying all type of instrument approaches, including GPS, WAAS, APV, LPV, LNAV/VNAV, LNAV+V, as well as information on handling icing and thunderstorms using NEXRAD and other flight planning sources. And much much more!
