I believe that's when they were required for all planes. My plane
came with a wimpy looking "owners manual" and a very detailed and
serialized Airplane Flight Manual. The AFM contained detailed
procecudures, equipment lists and W&B information. According to the
type certificate, the AFM was required to be onboard the airplane. The
plane is a '68 PA28.
