July 31, 20178 yr What do you think? Worth the price? https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B014TAAKM4/ref=tmm_hrd_new_olp_sr?ie=UTF8&condition=new&qid=1501467047&sr=1-2
July 31, 20178 yr The cheapest version of the book is $997 used. There are many, many other commercial and free sources of similar information that can be found by searching the internet. It's your money, but if it was mine I wouldn't spend it on that book. Forever indebted to the late Michael Greenblatt of FSGS.

July 31, 20178 yr Oh, heck no. Try one of these instead. There's no mystery in how instrument flying is done. Hasn't changed since the old days.

July 31, 20178 yr This book was some real help for me (quite some time ago, though): https://www.amazon.com/Mastering-Instrument-Flying-Henry-Sollman/dp/0070596905/ref=sr_1_29?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1501485707&sr=1-29&keywords=instrument+flying But as others mentioned, the FAA online library covers it all and it's free. What happened to AVSIM
July 31, 20178 yr Yeah, it's really that good, i bought three of those last month......new ones.. Just kidding offcourse. My god, one could take flight lessons for the price of a couple of those books. And i might add; i just checked Amazon.co.uk and it sells there for £ 7.32. So i just saved you about 900 dollars!!!

July 31, 20178 yr No, it's an Amazon thing - try this page instead: https://www.amazon.com/Thomas-P.-Turner/e/B000APGDOM/ref=dp_byline_cont_book_1 and you can get it for $3. DJ
July 31, 20178 yr Author Sorry folks, I should have been a little more articulate about it being a joke. I thought others might find it amusing that a Flight Instrument handbook was going for more than $3k.
July 31, 20178 yr Moderator Oh the bloody nerve! Wanting $3,228.01 and then demanding another $3.99 for shipping!!! (The above is snark, just to be clear) Fr. Bill AOPA Member: 07141481 AARP Member: 3209010556 Avsim Board of Directors | Avsim Forums Moderator
