Rod Machado's Instrument Pilot's eHandbook, 2nd edition

Rod Machado's Instrument Pilot's Handbook is a teaching tour de force
that takes pilots through the complex world of instrument flying. Long
known for his unique ability to transform difficult concepts into
simple-yet-complete explanations, Machado takes both new and experienced
IFR pilots on a guided tour of instrument flying, from the basics
through subtleties that even many professional pilots will find useful.
He turns complexity into curiosity. Nearly 1,000 illustrations shine
further light on the topic at hand. From how the basic aircraft
instruments really work through what's inside a thunderstorm and how a
GPS approach works, Machado teaches IFR pilots not just the minimum
needed to pass the instrument pilot written exam, but every aspect of
IFR flying.
This up-to-date text covers the latest information on GPS,
glass cockpits, data uplinks, computer-based resources, and other new
(and future) technologies and techniques. It is also a rich source of
practical information about how real pilots really fly IFR. Readers
learn how to gauge the thunderstorm potential of a cumulus cloud by
estimating the rainfall rate, scan their instruments in a way that
provides maximum performance with minimum effort, and keep the needle
centered during an ILS or LPV approach by using the sky pointer on the
attitude indicator.
There's flying by the book, and then there's flying
by THIS book. Rod Machado's Instrument Pilot's Handbook is fun,
thorough, and the next best thing to having Rod Machado sit by a pilot's
side and talk him through each topic. Once again, Machado proves that
you can have fun while learning what you need to know in order to fly
safely.
