This is the FAA\'s primary pilot resource for Instrument flight rules (IFR) covering everything pertinent to operating an aircraft in Instrument meteorological conditions (IMC) or without reference to outside visuals, relying solely on the information gleaned from the cockpit.
Advanced systems are covered, including flight management systems, the primary flight display (PFD) and multi-function display (MFD), synthetic vision, and traffic advis.
Information is well organized into separate coverage of the traditional 6-pack and discussions of pictorial tape displays.
The material in this manual applies to both conventional steam-gauge analog instrumentation and the glass cockpit electronic flight displays found in advanced aircraft.
Readers will find chapters on the national airspace system, the air traffic control system, human factors, aerodynamics, flight instruments, flight maneuvers for IFR operations, navigation, emergency operations, as well as helicopter operations and more.
