Good, but needs Update

I originally bought this book some years ago. The 3rd Edition is now out dated. JR Williams does an excellent job of teaching an old instrument pilot how things should be done...the airline way! I'd highly recommend this text if it were current. I don't know if old JR is still with us, but if he is, he should definitely update the text and issue 4th Edition.

Great Intro to IFR

I bought this to help me with Microsoft Flight Simulator. In that respect it deserves 5 stars, helping you to interpret the maps and diagrams better than the miserable help file in FS. For real "hardware" flying, it may be a bit sparse in some areas. Easy read for a neophyte.
