Instrument Procedure Handbook (AFS-420 IPH)

[BruceAir]

The FAA has posted AFS-420 IPH Instrument Procedure Handbook, a complement to the Instrument Flying Handbook and other IFR references, on its Web site at: http://av-info.faa.gov/terps/IPH.htm. It is divided into several PDF files that you can download.

For those wondering about this handbook, which appeared in 2004, the introduction notes in part:

The Instrument Procedures Handbook is designed as a technical reference for professional pilots who are conducting instrument flight rule (IFR) operations in the National Airspace System (NAS). Certified instrument flight instructors, instrument pilots, and instrument students may find this handbook a valuable training aid since it provides detailed coverage of instrument charts and procedures including IFR takeoff, departure, en route, arrival, approach, and landing...

It is essential for persons using this handbook to also become familiar with and apply the pertinent parts of 14 CFR and the Aeronautical Information Manual (AIM). The AIM is available online at http://www.faa.gov/atpubs. Performance standards for demonstrating instrument competence required for pilot certification are prescribed in the Instrument Rating and Airline Transport Pilot Practical Test Standards as appropriate...

This handbook introduces advanced information for IFR operations and expands upon information contained in FAAH-
8083-15, Instrument Flying Handbook.

You can find other FAA training handbooks (e.g., The Pilot's Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge, The Airplane Flying Handbook, and The Instrument Flying Handbook) also in PDF format elsewhere on the FAA Web site at:
