Instrument flying is stressful!
For the new or occasional instrument pilot, IFR flying can cause an enormous amount of anxiety.
It doesn’t have to be stressful, though. You can feel in control even as an inexperienced instrument pilot.
Instrument flying isn’t rocket science because it’s extremely predictable. Each phase of flight has the same set of radio calls, maneuvers, and requirements. The pros sound so good because they do the exact same thing all the time.
The pattern hardly ever varies.
If you learn and embrace the predictable patterns of instrument flying, you will lose that anxiety and begin to enjoy it.
The Instrument Pilot’s Survival Guide will walk you through the flow of a real instrument flight so you can anticipate ATC’s next move.
What this book will do for you
This guide will help you alleviate your stress by teaching you the general flow of an instrument flight.
Mastering the rhythm of an instrument flight is the key to a worry-free experience.
This survival guide will walk you through an instrument flight from beginning to end.
Each step along the way, this book will teach you what you should do every time.
What this book won’t do
This is not a training book like ASA or King Schools produces. It won’t bog you down with the minutiae of instrument flying.
You can’t master the details until you understand the big picture. For example, it includes very little about holding because real world instrument flying involves very little holding.
This book is here to talk about real day-to day instrument flying in the simplest of terms.
Who needs this book?
- You have several hundred hours of instrument flight, but only a fraction of that in
actual weather conditions. - Your instrument currency has lapsed or is about to.
- You are a military pilot who is too busy with mission training to get into the
national airspace or you only fly once a month in the National Guard. - You would rather file Visual flight Rules (VFR) than IFR because you think flying
IFR is too much work. - Flying instruments makes you nervous and anxious.
- You always hope it’s clear, blue, and twenty-two so you won’t have to fly in the clouds.
If any of the above apply to you, instruments will remain a mystery and stressful until you understand the basic framework of an instrument flight.
How is this book set up?
This book is broken down into the different phases of a real instrument flight.
- Flight planning
- Weather Planning
- NOTAMs
- Route Planning
- Ground Operations
- Preflight
- Picking up the Clearance
- Clearances at Uncontrolled Airports
- Flight
- Departure
- Cruise
- Visual Approaches
- Full Instrument Approaches
- Landing
- Canceling Flight Plans
- After Landing
- Bonus Material
Each of these phases has its own challenges and predictable events. Once you understand the flow of each, you will have a better chance of staying ahead of the aircraft.
Only then will you enjoy instrument flying.

The Instrument Pilot Survival Guide Sarah Fritts eBook
This is a quick and easy read that should help anyone not flying IFR on a daily basis feel a bit less jittery about the whole process. The author's style is definitely calm and casual, and she walks you through the key phases of an IFR flight from planning to touchdown (and everything in between) with personal observations and tips that make even the scary parts seem much more approachable.Yes, you can get in the plane with an instructor that can help you hammer your skills in shape, or you can read any number of books that delve into the underlying theories of why things work the way they do, but this book is different. Something I've wished I could do more would be to sit in the right seat alongside a seasoned airline captain or military pilot and just pick up the subtle things that they do better than I do. This is pretty much what Sarah offers in her book...if you're looking for vector diagrams or formulas to help you understand the nitty gritty details of viscous vs. dynamic hydroplaning (or whatever), then this isn't the book for you.
I also like the practical focus on tools like ForeFlight and some of the software out there that makes life so much safer and easier for pilots. These tools are the reality for many pilots today, and yet too many people in aviation seem stuck in the old-school methods. Sarah's narrative strikes me as much closer to the way most modern pilots are operating today.
Definitely a useful addition to my aviation collection.

The Instrument Pilot Survival Guide Sarah Fritts eBook Reviews
As someone preparing for my CFI-Instrument rating, I found this book to be concise and well written. I will definitely recommend it to anyone working on their IFR rating or just as a refresher.
The author's website is full of interesting and relevant information for pilots. Highly recommended.
Shorter than I thought it would be for the cost. More a “paper” than a book. Good information though and enjoyed the quick read.
It's an AWESOME read so far and I expect it to be EXCELLENT to the end. I have it on my for easier access, commuting, waiting, etc.It's a great review and a excellent knowledge and experience that can be well applied into the real world of IFR flying. I've already recommended it to a few people I know who are working on their Instrument and are even at the ATP level Excellent read and she is also featured in IFR Refresher this month as well. Looking very forward to additional publications Captain Fritts will publish!!
Written in plain English and easy to read. Almost feels like the author is in front of you, and sharing all her valuable flying experience with you. This book is not about technical details. This book is about real world IFR flying, which has a great practical value. Of course, knowing the technical details are very important, but every aviation book that I have read so far is all about technical details of IFR or VFR flying. This book is different It is more practical. I recommend this book to every IFR rated pilot regardless of the type of operation they may participate in (part 91, 135, 121...).
Sarah talks to you, one pilot to another. This is a refreshing and welcome change from the usual and boring academic approach of most books on piloting skills. I like how she gets right to the point and tells you what you need to know in very practical terms. She doesn't attempt to re-teach instrument flight but rather fills you in on how to make instrument flight go smoothly. This is insider knowledge from a highly experienced pilot that you won't get from a low-time CFII. Highly recommended. Jeff Kanarish, host of ATCcommunication.com.
Excellent book! I fly IFR on a regular basis, and found much of the book to be review. That said, I took specific note of several points she made that I never learned or have forgotten. The book does a great job of putting it all together and relating exactly what to expect in each phase of flight. The writing is relaxed and conversational and a nice change from most books about instrument flying. Highly recommended.
I expect I am like many pvt pilots who earned an IFR rating but after training had a hard time keeping current and let it lapse. In my case I own a float plane so my flying is almost always daytime VFR. I was fairly good at flying practice approaches around the local area but I never really gained a deep understanding of how to tie it all together into a useful flight in the system. Ms. Fritts' book fixed that.
With the addition of new avionics to meet the ADS-B requirements and a set of Amphibious floats I now have a reason to get IFR current. I read the FAA handbooks and a few other books before this one. They all lack an organized practical guide to the flow of real flights in the IFR system. This book delivers the best overview and detail I could find and manages to do it in an easy to read short format with practical real world tips.
I highly recommend buying the book.
