"Continued VFR into IFR conditions," the non-instrument-rated pilot's worst-case scenario, persists as the most frequent cause of weather-related accidents. In this landmark book, Richard Taylor provides VFR pilots with an emergency reserve of basic IFR capability, the bare-boned essentials of instrument flying technique and procedures so urgently needed to cope with and survive an inadvertent encounter with low-visibility IFR conditions.

In this 5th Edition of his classic book on IFR flight, author Richard Collins shares his experience in this guide to the real world of instrument flying, detailing the IFR system, equipment, and exploring the risks and rewards of instrument flying. New material on best practices in glass-cockpit flying has been added for the 5th Edition. The invaluable discussions on instrument airmanship, weather analysis, flight planning and decision making, handling equipment glitches, and that critical survival skill -- partial panel flying -- are all presented for the sole objective of better preparing you to fly on IFR flight plans. The only tests this book prepares you for are those encountered in flying actual IFR. Where the initial instrument checkride leaves off with the applicant receiving a "dry" instrument ticket, this book provides the information necessary to "get it wet."
