IFR Refresher, one of several Belvoir aviation publications, offers a more serious treatment of IFR flying than its sibling publication, IFR. Each issue has an article addressing technique, a very difficult quiz and an accident review. The accident reviews are of the caliber of those appearing in NTSB Reporter and are spooky because they invariably involve a cascading set of failures in technique, planning and decision-making.
It's a good supplement an intense pilot will use to maintain his or her IFR awareness.
Without a doubt it's the best pilot reading I do every month, cover to cover. Many articles are challenging enough in technical content to merit reading it twice. More constructive than NTSB Reporter. Much less expensive than an hour of flight. Any single article could save your life. Buy the back issues. Buy a 3 ring binder. Buy a gift subscription.

The Mar & Apr 2010 issues have been a real disappointment both in length (only 16 pages) and content. I expected more quality content with useful practical information based on editor Rick Durden's columns on . Basically, I wouldn't recommend this publication to anyone with much instrument experience. I was hoping that it would be a useful source of "enrichment" material to use in my instrument ground schools, but alas, there has been little really useful for that either. Use the $59 to buy a copy of the FAA Instrument Procedures Handbook (FAA-H-8261-1 and ISBN 9781560275510) and a copy of Peter Dogan's Instrument Flight Training Manual (ISBN 0916413268)
