EASA Enroute Instrument Rating Croucher, Phil (Cranfield University)

Until recently, the only option for instrument rating training in Europe was a full course requiring up to 200 hours of theoretical knowledge instruction, but the Enroute and Competency-Based Instrument ratings (for aeroplanes only) are a part of a new approach that is supposed to make instrument flying more accessible, because the original courses were designed as part of a commercial course and were necessarily intense. This book is for people who already hold an ICAO IR, and who can simply convert to the EASA version by completing the skill test and demonstrating to the examiner (during the skill test) an adequate knowledge of air law, meteorology and flight planning. It contains all the information needed to answer the examiner's questions, plus tip and tricks not usually taught on such a basic course.
