A straight forward description of what you've previously learned, to be used either as a supplement, a refresher, or as a "that's what they meant" explanation. In this manner, this book describes most conceivable IFR situations, from clearance interpretation, to holding patterns, to airport diversions, to various normal and situational and missed approaches.
From The Introduction:
This book is a valuable link between theory and what instrument flying is really like. It's a book to read all the way through and also to have handy for those free moments, to open anywhere, and gain a useful piece of information. It is difficult to dig out all the information about instrument flying. I've tried by reading stuffy technical books, the stiff FAA publications, and formal study courses designed to get one through the FAA exams. Even after all this digging, there is still a long way to discover what its really like. Mostly this comes from experience.
Instrument Flying cuts this process short because it tells, as it teaches what's behind the formal stuff. In doing this, the book gives experience. I wish it had been around years ago; it would have made things a lot easier.

From the Back Cover
``I recommend it to any pilot who wishes to be at their best in the instrument system.''--John L. Baker, former president fo the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association. Ever since the pioneering days of Jimmy Doolittle, pilots have been able to take off, fly, and land without seeing a thing. But you have to be a proficient instrument pilot to pull it off successfully. Instrument Flying is the bible of IFR flight. This latest edition has complete, up-to-date information about every facet of instrument flying, from airways to Zulu time. It provides any pilot, from novice to old hand, with all that is needed to sharpen pilot skills at ``flying blind'' and to handle any emergency. It features: explanation of the VOR system, RNAV, Loran, and GPS navigation; a complete glossary of terms and abbreviations; valuable proficiency exercises; preflight checklists; case histories of pilots who were involved in IFR accidents. Taylor covers recent developments in IFR technology, new IFR terms, and advances in flight systems and equipment. Climb to and maintain a higher level of efficiency and safety--become a good instrument pilot.
