Rod Machado's Instrument Pilot's Survival Manual

Rating:
Summary: Every instrument pilot needs this book!
Review: We all know that Rod Machado is one of the sharpest and most entertaining aviation writers around. Well, he's outdone himself this time with "The Instrument Pilot's Survival Manual." Not only does Rod clearly detail everything you need to know about instrument flying in his usual thorough and entertaining way, but he digs into things you won't find anywhere else -- like how to fly GPS approaches using the latest electronic displays, and the fine points of using weather avoidance technology like lightning detectors and radar. Best of all, Rod delivers straight talk and clear guidance on the really tough challenges we pilots occasionally face -- like what should you do when encountering airframe icing, for example? Plenty of books explain the hazards, but only Rod gives you an action plan explaining exactly what to do. Even as a 26-year instrument pilot and a 24-year instrument instructor, I've learned all kinds of great stuff from this book and you will too. Every instrument pilot should read it and keep it handy for reference. Good going, Rod -- you've written another classic!
