In order to prepare myself (for the written test as well as for the whole ifr stuff generally), I would like to do some home-study before travelling to the US. What kind of training material would you recommend? I would recommend you not try to prepare for both with the same materials. The written test contains some useful stuff, but mostly it's just a hurdle you have to overcome. Therefore, I suggest that you use only one book to prepare for it - the test prep book by Gleim, ASA, or whatever other outfit publishes all the questions and answers in an organized form. For actually using the rating, I recommend Rod Machado's Instrument Pilot Survival Manual as an introduction, and Buck's Weather Flying as a more advanced text. You can also do yourself a lot of good by practicing the procedures on Microsoft Flight Sim or equivalent product - there are lots of them, and they are all adequate to the task. Realize that the Mojave is EXTREMELY unlikely to offer any IFR weather flyable in a light single. While you're there, consider hopping over the Tehachapis and into the LA Basin, which is likely to offer you much better weather training opportunities. Michael |
