This handbook also covers flight with electronic and analog flight displays, the air traffic control and national airspace systems, human factors, emergency operations, flight maneuvers for IFR operations, aerodynamics, and helicopter IFR operations. This handbook also covers instrument clearance shorthand, and it includes an instrument training lesson guide.
