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.

"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.”
