IR Revision Book Recommendation
Does anyone have recommendations for books to use to study for UK IR?
I am after a decent one that shows rules/regs, principles of ILS/VOR etc, Met and other similar subjects.
Is there one good book that covers all this, or can you recommend a couple that will cover the content I need?
I have a current IR but need to brush up on the basics.
Thanks

SAR, a very good book on instrument flying is Jeppesen's "Instrument Commercial Manual" (see, for instance http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/088...Fencoding=UTF8)
It's probably the most detailed publication that goes through EVERYTHING. Unfortunately, as an American publication, it's heavily FAA-focussed and contains a lot of details on airspace and procedures that aren't really relevant in the UK. Nonetheless even for "JAA-only" flying I can highly recommend it.
If you want a more "gentle" introduction, you could try Rod Machado's "Instrument Survival Manual". Written in a funny and informative style, takes you through all crucial maneuvers at a meandering pace.
Then there's the Instrument Flying book out of the Trevor Thom series - highly recommended too.
Good luck,
KK.

The Rod Machado book is very good..very FAA, but well worth a read I think.
There is an excellent book called "Never Get Lost" by Wilhem Thaller
Very very good and very comprehensive
Tis a bit pricey, but i would definitely recommend it
( I got someone to buy it for me for Christmas
)
