Offers insight into rapidly evolving technologies affecting flight within the National Airspace System including, GPS, Local Area Augmentation System, Wide Area Augmentation System and more. Also provides comprehensive coverage of all regimes of IFR flight. Appropriate for instrument students, CFI's, IFR and ATP Pilots.

An excellent resource for instrument-rated pilots who want to learn how to maximize their skills in an "Instrument Flight Rules" (IFR) environment, this revised handbook contains up-to-date information, the latest changes to procedures, and even more insights and guidance on how to operate safely within the National Airspace System. In-depth sections cover all phases of flight from takeoff to landing, including detailed coverage of instrument charts; takeoff, en route, approach, and landing procedures; human factors; land and hold short operations; and runway incursions. Intended primarily as a technical reference for professional pilots, the added glossary, index, full-color photos, and illustrations make this a valuable training aid for flight instructors, instrument pilots, and students

This handbook supersedes FAA-H-8261-16A, Instrument Procedures Handbook. It is designed as a technicalreference for all pilots who operate under instrument flight rules (IFR) in the National Airspace System (NAS). It expandsand updates information contained in the FAA-H-8083-15B, Instrument Flying Handbook, and introduces advancedinformation for IFR operations. Instrument flight instructors, instrument pilots, and instrument students will also find thishandbook a valuable resource since it is used as a reference for the Airline Transport Pilot and Instrument Knowledge Testsand for the Practical Test Standards. It also provides detailed coverage of instrument charts and procedures including IFRtakeoff, departure, en route, arrival, approach, and landing. Safety information covering relevant subjects such as runwayincursion, land and hold short operations, controlled flight into terrain, and human factors issues also are included.
