Aviation Publishers releases Instrument Procedures Manual, 5th
edition
Aviation Publishers is pleased to announce the release
of its new, and highly anticipated, Instrument Procedures Manual, 5th Edition,
also well known as the IPM.
This latest edition of this established
Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) textbook is a significant upgrade over the
previous edition, which was last updated in the 1990s. It is written to provide
both students, as well as experienced pilot professionals, with information on
today's aircraft, satellite and ground-based instrument systems, departure, en
route and approach procedures, and air traffic control regulations.
In
addition, this new IPM includes new chapters on pilot performance, automation
and technology, and international procedures. Every phase of flight, from
pre-flight to landing, is discussed in terms of a safe and efficient IFR
operation.
Nine chapters make up the bulk of this new edition of this
title. They are: Chapter 1 Physiological Factors Related to IFR Flight; Chapter
2 Pilot Performance & Instrument Flight; Chapter 3 Instrumentation &
Navigation Systems; Chapter 4 Instrument Flight Techniques; Chapter 5 Air
Traffic Services; Chapter 6 IFR Flight Procedures; Chapter 7 Automation &
Technology; Chapter 8 International Procedures; Chapter 9 Rotor Wing. This new
IPM also contains seven appendices, and a very thorough index.
Those
familiar with previous editions of the IPM will notice the entirely new "look"
to the interior of the publication. While limited material, and some graphical
elements, from the last edition have been carried over that remain valid in the
up-to-date world of IFR flying, a huge effort has been put forth to enhance the
appearance and content of this new version. Containing content that is new as of
this year's publication date, it is safe to say that this new IPM 5th Edition is
likely the most current textbook of its kind in the aviation world
today.
The author of this IPM 5th Edition is David Holland who, in the
1990s and under contract to Transport Canada, authored the last version of this
title. Holland's experience is boundless: he has amassed over 15,000 hours in
his 30+ years in aviation. He is an Airbus A330 Captain, and an Airbus Check
Captain, at Air Canada. He is a Transport Canada Pilot Examiner, and a Transport
Canada Inspector. He served in the Canadian Armed Forces as a Captain and
Instructor on C130 Hercules aircraft. And, he is president of Aerosolutions, a
consultancy in professional aviation training.
As with all of Aviation
Publishers' publications, colour appears throughout this new IPM. The standard
styles that appear throughout all Aviation Publishers' books have also been
applied throughout the new IPM. Page-count for the new IPM is now at 288 pages.
The book's retail price is $89.95. Copies of this title are now available from
Aviation Publishers' distributors, all of which can be found at http://aviationpublishers.com/buying-our-books/
.
Long considered the authoritative textbook on instrument flying, this
IPM will be crucial, and necessary, reading for every serious professional
pilot, be they student or experienced professional. Aviation Publishers is
pleased to now include this important title in its portfolio of
textbooks.
