I just finished reviewing The Instrument Flight Training manual by
Peter Doggan. Mr. Doggan is well known for his 10 day instrument
training courses offered through Professional Instrument Courses (PIC).

I found this publication to be an excellent guide to the conduct of
an instrument program.  It contains many "war" stories that bring home
important points about instrument flight training.  It contains
many practical procedures and techniques.  What makes this publication
a "must" is that it may be productively used by not only prospective
instrument students, but it will be of significant value to many instrument
pilots who may have been "short changed" during their own training or those
who simply would like to become more proficient.  There are also segments
that are addressed to the CFII to help us better understand Mr. Doggans
point of view.

Although we all have our own special feelings about how to conduct the
instrument program, I disagree with very few of Mr. Doggans insights and
I am particularly pleased with how he handles the integration of the
simulator into the curriculum.

Run, don't walk to your favorite aviation book store (available from
Sporty's).  I will be interested to hear what you folks on the net. think
about some of the procedures and techniques described in the book.

Happy reading

Ted Spitzmiller

P.S.  Armando, did you get the Commanche POH yet?
