Go Aerocourse, they will set you straight. Teach you what you need to know for the exam, not so much for the flight test.

I just did my IFR a little while ago, my advice would be to read everything that has to do with IFR in the AIM, it might take a bit, but there is alot of usefull info in there. And like everyone said, go through the aerocourse. Read through the CAP gen. and the Air Command Wx. Manual.

Good Luck.

The little bits of trivia that I ask candidates about IFR procedures, rules, and operational considerations can be found here. Some of them have only an application to military regs and procedures, but the rest of the studies provide the essential IFR and Met information for both the IFR and ATPL studies.

This is a good indicator of what an examiner is looking for:

The INRAT is extremely easy if you use these resources:

-AIM - IFR sections and GPS sections
-CAP and CAPGEN
-Aerocourse exam book
-Instrument Porcedures Manual

Study this material, know it well, and you should have no problem whatsoever. No need to pay for one of those overpriced courses.

You also have Michael C.u.l.h.a.n.e books too :

I use them with the AIM.

PS: sorry, I had to put a dot between each letter, otherwise I had the name replaced by many stars.

Well this post is about to get yanked, there is a reason you are getting stars in replacement of his name.

Husky has it right follow his lead.

Run away from the "C" books.

If you are still having issues understanding the material then take the AeroCourse you should have no problem passing.

Good Luck

Before they pull this thread I'll add one more voice. The books we can't mention have about a 10% innacuracy rate in their answer keys, based on my own experience. If the answer key seems odd look it up in another book and discuss it with your instructor.

thanks for this advice, I has notice those errors working for the commercial.
Some are very weird... it's a shame.

aerocourse for IFR and ATPL (IATRA)

Can some of you guys tell me what's the reason for some brands to be hidden behind some stars and why others aren't ? I didn't know this! I would appreciate to have the details concerning the MC books, even trough the PM. I thank you in advance.
It seems I will have to think about Aerocourse now

I would recommend the Pro IFR 3 day course, but if you can't come out then just try and get the manuals.

You may also want to consider the Pultz Instrument Manual.
I used that exclusively and did very well on the INRAT first time through.
Good luck to you!

Cap Gen, AIM, Aerocourse and the 'C' book got me a 88% first try on the INRAT.

Don't forget military regs aren't the same as civi regs. Be careful using those refs.
