Reading before IR.
Anyone have any suggestions of good reading prior to starting the IR??:D
|
Trevor Thom book 5 for revision of the basics of instrument flight
Smith and Groves Keynotes for IR Skill Test David Hoy Instrument Flying (if still in print) |
Everybody recommends the DAVID HOY book but it is out of print - maybe your instructor has a copy .......
|
I recommend ringing the school and finding out which routes and airfields they fly to on the IRT.
Then get the plates (AIS site), and fly them on flight sim or similar, not so much to learn flying but to learn the procedures and ndb holds etc with wind. Helped me no end.... |
weblueit...as in from easy rider??????

Thanks for the replies. I managed to get a second hand copy of David Hoy`s book from Amazon.

Learn Morse Code. JAR does not require you to do it ....but do it.
The tape costs a tenner from one of the magazines. Knowing morse is invaluable it saved me several times in training when I had misdialled or not flip-flopped a frequency. The other thing is to brush up on your IFR comms...you will have little spare capacity for RT so make it automated. Where are you going for your IR? All the best. |
I have a couple of Morse Trainers so will be having a look at them over the next couple of months.
I am going to Bristol Flying Centre in September.:O |
