The Instrument Rating and Beyond
Based on the original text by William K. Kershner, this new seventh edition
has been updated throughout to reflect current regulations, operating
procedures, and technology.
Written for the pilot desiring to add an instrument rating, and for the
instrument-rated pilot who needs a refresher. Divided into five sections, the
book covers: airplane performance and basic instrument flying, navigation and
communication aids and their instruments, planning the instrument flight
(weather systems and planning, charts and other aids, and navigation planning),
the instrument flight and the knowledge and practical tests (a scenario "trip"
using the knowledge gained in the first three sections, including clearances,
takeoff and departure, enroute, and approaches), and a syllabus for the
instrument trainee and the CFII.
As with all of Kershner's books, this manual covers instrument flying in
as much detail as possible without over-complicating the subject. Numerous
illustrations by the author aid in visualization of the concepts. This book
covers everything students need to know to obtain an FAA instrument rating and
has consistently been a favorite of both students and instructors alike.
Author Bill Kershnerï¾’s son, William C. Kershner, is now the editor of the Kershner
Manuals Series. He received his training from his father, the renown "Spin
Doctor". Bill is a flight
instructor and airline captain.
