Documentation

I understand that EASA aircraft are legally required to carry a number of documents in the aeroplane for every flight and this includes a copy of the flight manual. Does anybody know what documents should be carried in a non EASA aircraft (in this case a chipmunk).

Non-EASA aeroplanes operate under national regulations. Therefore, your source document is the UK Air Navigation Order (CAP 393). ANO Article 229 leads you to Schedule 10 and a list of required documents.

An easier read is the Skyway Code produced by the UK CAA which is generally applicable to VFR pilots in the UK, and states on page 23:

Carriage of Documents

** For non-EASA aircraft flying within the UK, there are no document carriage requirements other
than charts for navigation.

** When exercising the privileges of an EASA licence you must carry the licence document and photo ID with you at all times.

** For international flight there are more extensive requirements, the details of which can found in the ‘International Flight’ chapter on p.157.
