What things do you consider it essential to always have on board for
every flight? Not just things required by law, but things that you
personally believe in having on the aircraft before you leave the
ground.


White scarf and goggles.

The gun is needed more in the city than in the wilderness,
too many two legged predators in the city. Didn't you see
Escape From New York?

Bear.

BTW, federal law allows transport anywhere, although certain
states routinely violate that provision in federal law,
mostly in New Jersey and Mass..

Depends on the flight. A 500 mile flight in IMC requires different
things compared to a 20 mile hamburger run under VFR.

I was thinking of stuff that's always there--maybe a first-aid kit, or
some basic survival gear, extra water, oxygen, or whatever you
consider necessary to make you feel warm and fuzzy when flying.

Actually, the Supreme Court has always side=stepped around
the Second Amendment.
see the report from the US Attorney General
http://www.usdoj.gov/olc/secondamendment2.htm which will no
doubt be a major source and authority whenever the issue
gets to the Court again.

Good Lord! How many hours do you fly at a time. I limit the legs to
around five hours so that's never been a problem...and don't drink a
lot of what ever before starting out.

Maybe you're lucky. As I recall, most people have to urinate at least
every three to five hours.

Glider pilots need help to get it up.

The "law" literally requires nothing.

Pilot certificate? Photo ID? Medical certificate? AFM/W&B? Logbook (for
students)?

fuel?

Aircraft... It isn't as much fun to fly without it.
