FAA Updates Instrument Procedures Handbook
The agency updated the guide that functions as the technical reference on IFR procedures used everywhere in the National Airspace System.

The FAA released an updated draft version of its Instrument Procedures Handbook (FAA-H-8083-ISA) last week, a guide that functions as the technical reference on IFR procedures used everywhere in the National Airspace System. Among the more important changes in the new version is a deeper explanation of surface movement guidance and control systems that better reflects advancements in the way these ground-radar systems operate, as well as policy changes related to diverse vector areas.
