IFR Resources

Most of us have a shelf of books chronicling our flying. There are the books we used to learn to fly, obtain instrument and type ratings, and bundles of magazines. In there is probably a dog-eared copy of the Airplane Flying Handbook, and perhaps a few others in the FAAs long-running series of manuals. If you havent used them, or if it has been a while, its worth and a fresh look-especially now that theyre available online directly from the FAA.

Key Takeaways:

• The FAA provides a series of comprehensive handbooks, including the Instrument Flying Handbook and Advanced Avionics Handbook, that are valuable resources for pilots of all experience levels.
• These handbooks cover a wide range of essential topics from basic flight and instrument procedures to advanced avionics, risk management, and aeronautical knowledge.
• While many handbooks are updated to include modern cockpits and digital displays, some are noted for their detailed technical information, while others provide general overviews or serve as foundational references.
• All FAA handbooks are conveniently available online for free directly from the FAA website, making them easily accessible for pilots to refresh knowledge or prepare for new training.
