Which books you use for IR(A) exams?
 

All i have is Jeppesen "Instrument commercial manual", but nothing from AFE or Trevor Thom....What kind of books you can recommend for IFR?

Thom book 5 is OK. But I found RANT better. Although not a book, it comes with tutorials, demonstrations and exercises which get the message across in a way that sticks, much better that trying to understand a diagram by turning the book at various angles. You can download the demo from www.oddsoft.co.uk.

The flight planning, enroute, arival, departure, air law, ATC services and wot not that the books don't cover is in the IR theory course material (for JAA).

If you are going to do a JAA IR then you get the books only with the course from your chosen ground school.

Unlike the FAA IR where you can buy the instrument manual self study and sit the exam, in JAA land you have to undertake a course with an approved school who will provide you with there own approved materials.

Most of which is pretty crap, t0o in depth and outdated even for the JAA exams. I used the Oxford Aviation CBT stuff to supplemet the materials I got with my course from CATS.

The FAA 'Instrument Flying Handbook' and 'Instrument Procedures Handbook' are aimed at the US airways system, but most of it (particularly the first) still applies and I found them very enlightening.
