Fairly concise and mostly understandable

I hate how you cannot just have this, but also the IPH and then even so that’s STILL NOT ENOUGH!! Even with the electronic version where I had ctrl+F I couldn’t find half the shit I needed for grounds or, god forbid, my written and checkride. Jesus Christ just SHOW ME THE ASSIGNED CLIMB GRADIENTS BY ALTITUDE!! STOP MAKING ME JUMP THROUGH HOOPS FAA!!!

A great refresher on approach plates
and effective ways to preform the control and performance concept of flying. Very rudimentary, but a great rebaseline.

Between this and the Instrument Flying Handbook, everything you need to pass the FAA's Instrument written exam. Could be usefully supplemented with, say, the Jeppesen book, which has many useful graphics, but a good basic resource.
