Be ready for the worst!

Note that 14 CFR 91.9 (b) 1 and 2 only apply to airplanes and rotorcraft. A
glider is neither.
Also 14 CFR 21.5 only applies to airplanes or rotorcraft.

Only 14 CFR 91.9 (a) applies and, thus, it would appear that no flight
manual is required to
be carried in gliders unless the glider's Op Specs requires it to be
carried.

91.9 and 21.5 of US CFR may be helpful.
I don't have a terribly clear idea how this applies
to experimentals, however, or even if 21.5 applies to
experimentals.

For regular ol' aircraft, IIRC before some date
(maybe the '80s?) the POH (AFM?) was fine, then after that,
one needed a manual with a serial number on it.

If anyone wants to illuminate us on the differences
between an AFM and a POH, you're smarter than me...
