Mastering Instrument Flying (Tab Practical Flying), 2/e

This book should be required reading after the Gleim manual. Gleim teaches you how to pass the written and this book teaches you the reality of flying. Excellent choice.

As a pilot examiner and instructor myself (and without financial consideration from the authors) I wholeheartedly endorse this book for all instrument students. I recently taught a ground school where I recommended the students purchase the book. All agreed that it was easy to read and thorough in content. Learning techniques in here aren't found in other books. It takes the instrument flight and plans it first, then gives the reader tips for using navigation systems including GPS. I have recommended this book dozens of times since I discovered it in 1991. Then, the first edition helped me through my own instrument rating. It is a very valuable resource for instructors, too, with tips for instructors peppered throughout.I would have given five stars, but I found a slight error in some of the new material regarding TAFs (3rd edition), page 46. This easily slipped past someone and an addendum should be inserted. He used one too many zeros on some of the cloud examples and a reference to 1822 should have been "from 1800 zulu to 2200 zulu".I shant, however, throw the baby out with the bath water. 99.9% of the book is extrodinatry.P.
