IFR Practice: Manual of Instrument Flight

This book is an absolutely practical and comprehensive description of all IFR procedures and everything that goes with them, such as the important interface between pilot and air traffic control, dealing with IFR-relevant weather and decision-making in critical flight phases. In addition to the structured and detailed presentation of standard IFR procedures, practical solutions are proposed and the underlying relationships illuminated. Many of the practical methods and techniques have been tried and tested by the author himself, often refined and developed his own patterns of action. It is precisely these techniques that he passes on to his students in practical flight instruction. With the summary of these practices, a guide is finally available that enables pilots to build up and deepen their flying skills. This guide is equally suitable for student pilots and all pilots who fly professionally and safely and do not just want to "get by somehow". The book is designed for self-study and for trying out, because all methods and approaches are described step by step and comprehensibly.

Notes of a Seaplane Instructor

The book is full of hard-won knowledge that any seaplane pilot, novice or veteran, can learn from. I wish I had this book back when I was learning to fly seaplanes. —from the new Foreword to the Second Edition. Notes of a Seaplane Instructor is a distillation of all the tips, techniques and procedures of a veteran flyer and teacher, in an accessible and informative format. Author Burke Mees has an affinity for the "feel of the floats on the water" and how to communicate it in writing, as well as a sensible, professional approach which lends a truly "one-on-one" aspect to reading his book. All the seaplane maneuvers are covered, starting with preflight, proceeding through taxiing, takeoff, landing, and postflight procedures; also operating in various water conditions, stability of the aircraft on the water, step-taxi and -turn, and much more. Many illustrations, taken from and inspired by the author's own original flight instruction notebook sketches, help to further explain the concepts. In this new Second Edition, Burke provides even more notes on technique and performance particular to the world of floatplanes, with a special emphasis on safety and the best kind of pilot decisionmaking processes that keep seaplanes flying. The Second Edition also features an added chapter on multi-engine seaplane flying, and an appendix with notes on "pumping the floats" and ropes and splicing.
