That's assinine.


What would you have done if he pocketed the certificate or your
medical.

I'll get in my plane and fly away.



Any thing else he asks to see, "Sorry, I'm have an appointment to go
to, can we make an appointment at my local FSDO and have the aircraft
paperwork reviewed there?" That's it, done.

Most logs are not carried, but POH with weight and balance are
required. But they need not be shown during a ramp check. Same for
charts, what ever. He can look in the airplane by looking through the
window. He can check the aircraft for the required anti-drug exterior
data plate.

You lucked out.

No he didn't. That's how 99% of them go.



How could you refuse to show evidence of having a required document such
as W&B? Isn't that the purpose of a ramp check?
