FAA Instrument Procedures Handbook (FAA-H-8083-16B)
The FAA Instrument Procedures Handbook is an essential technical reference for pilots operating under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) within the National Airspace System (NAS). Developed by the Federal Aviation Administration, this handbook builds upon and updates the foundational material found in the Instrument Flying Handbook, while introducing more advanced concepts critical to modern IFR operations.
Designed for instrument students, instrument-rated pilots, and flight instructors, this handbook serves as an authoritative study and reference guide for the Instrument Rating and Airline Transport Pilot (ATP) knowledge tests, as well as practical checkrides.
Inside, pilots will find comprehensive explanations of instrument charts and procedures, including IFR takeoff minimums, departures, en route navigation, arrivals, instrument approaches, and landings. The handbook also emphasizes operational safety, covering key topics such as runway incursions, land-and-hold-short operations, controlled flight into terrain (CFIT), and human factors affecting pilot decision-making.
Whether you are preparing for a checkride, maintaining proficiency, or teaching IFR concepts, this handbook delivers clear guidance, structured explanations, and FAA-standard procedures you can rely on.
