Summary: A good supplement to your aviation library
Review: I appreciate Machado's book more now that I'm maintaining currency than when I was initially working on the instrument rating. The most valuable part (to me) was on cockpit organization. The four-way clipboard suggestion is an elegant solution compared to the well-armed instrument gladiator look I was sporting -- you know, with multiple kneeboards and a Post-It(tm) pad. His analyses of the individual parts of the approach and "how the system" works are helpful as well, especially with both NOS and Jepp charts. The only minus was the suggested scan technique. It didn't work for me and I thought it was a little cumbersome.

Summary: Humorous yet serious
Review: I have had this book for a while and have read other books from this author and must say that Rod Macado makes learning fun. It is realitively easy to read and is filled with many tips and ways to help you organize yourself in the cockpit during IFR situations. Not to mention he includes first hand experiences from students that he has taught to try to "show you" what not to do. I must say that this book is a must read for anyone up to getting IFR certified. I helped me and I am sure that it will help you in the air as well

Summary: Rod Machado's Instrument Pilot's Survival Manual
Review: Mr. Machado's instrument book has been a key resource in our IFR training programs since its first publishing in 1991. Our students delight in the author's writing style combining humor with substance. In operating our school, I depend on authors like Rod to help equip our students with the highest possible level of aeronautical knowledge which in turn enables them to make sound inflight decisions. I particularily appreciate the exceptional manner in which Rod teaches the proper use of approach lighting systems pursuant to FAR 91.175.
