Why this track

Adding IFR means living inside clearances, minimum altitudes, and approach plates. The IFH is written for pilots transitioning from VFR habits to procedural flying — we use it as the spine so you are not learning IFR from random blog posts.

Expect heavy emphasis on missed approaches, holds, and GPS/RNAV gotchas that show up on the knowledge test and in the sim. Pair this ground work with your CFII’s hood sessions and IPC-style refinement.
