I received a copy of the book in PDF format, and it's an elegant summary of what you need to know for good IFR planning. The explanations are very concise and easy to understand, and the graphics and drawings are truly a work of art. A beautiful work that feels more like a story than a manual, and the illustrations make it very easy to understand.

How to Fly IFR is a well-structured and accessible book that does a great job explaining the practical aspects of IFR flying. It presents complex topics in a clear, engaging way, without becoming too heavy. The section on holdings is especially strong—simple, well-explained, and highly relevant for new pilots. It's a valuable resource and an excellent starting point for those beginning their IFR journey.

"Congratulations to the author, an excellent book as a refresher for what I forgot from when I did the IFR. It would have been very helpful for me to study since flight schools' manuals leave much to be desired. They should learn from this. Thank you!!"

"Seriously, if you're on your way to a career with your PPL locked up, grab this book.

Don't wait, you'll regret it if you do.

Written by masters of the craft, easy to comprehend with plenty of illustrations. Wish this was available when I first started in the 1970s. Even if you have your instrument rating, this is a great refresher.”

I CONDENSED 10 YEARS OF FLYING INTO ONE BOOK

My name is Ales Aranburu.

I started flying when I was 19 years old, and decided to take some notes in flight to avoid forgetting something important later on.

They turned out to be really useful for my colleagues, and after improving them, I decided to go all in and write a full manual to help the student pilots that were coming after me.

Almost a decade later, those notes turned into a book that is being used by thousands of pilots in their everyday operations from all over the world.
