Instrument Procedures Manual

Operations under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) are the most common mode of cross-country travel in aviation. It is, therefore, necessary for IFR students to understand thoroughly the complexities of the IFR system, and to master the procedures therein. This title effectively provides a master class of instruction on the subject of IFR flying. It has led at the forefront of IFR studies for decades and it continues to be the “go to” publication for pilots seeking an instrument rating in Canada.
