Instrument Procedures Guide is a rewrite by Jeppesen of the FAA H-8261-1A handbook, but revised to explain the use of Jeppesen charts.

Instrument Procedures Guide is a complete reference for pilots conducting instrument flight rules (IFR) operations in the National Airspace System. It offers guidelines and insights into the rapidly evolving IFR environment including new technologies such as: Global Positioning System (GPS), Local and Wide Area Augmentation System (LAAS & WAAS), Reduced Vertical Separation Minimums (RVSM) and more. All regimes of IFR flight (takeoff, departure, en route, arrival, holds, approach and landing) are covered plus discussions on safety-related human factors. The text emphasizes airplane operations but also includes guidelines for helicopter instrument procedures.
