Nice IFR refresher
by Dr. Rich from Lansdale PA USA
Pros: Good basic review
Cons: Over priced
Review: Based on the author's years of experience was expecting to find a lot of things I never knew before. Instead it was more of a general IFR refresher with a lot of material taken from his and other prior publications. Humor is a bit over done. Based on who published the book was surprised on the number of errors in the book. Profusely illustrated.
