Review on Jeppesen IFR Test Guide by Dany Hamilton

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Very good but not perfect

Like most Jeppesen products I found it to be overall high quality and worthwhile. However, there are two things that keep it from being a five star product: 1. Too many repetitions. Of course, real FAA tests have subtle variations on a question, but there are too many of those here. I would say 10-20% of all sample questions are like this.2. Somewhat outdated designs with a lack of modern avionics issues. While most private pilots undoubtedly still fly steamers, glass cockpits are on the rise and if you're lucky enough to fly one, all the examples in the book seem a bit dated. I'm not suggesting replacing the current stuff, but a few sidebar cutouts showing "this is what it looks like for a G1000 pilot" would be helpful. Otherwise, this is a good score for the IFR written test, especially if you prefer a printed book and don't want to take online tests.

Pros
  • Auto & Vehicle Electronics
Cons
  • Can't remember
