So let's make this clear. It is your assertion that it is the duty
of a pilot flying, under VFR rules, to have the IAP charts with them
or to have them memorized?


No, I made no such assertion.


You most certainly did.

If you believe I made an assertion that it is the duty of a pilot flying
under VFR to have the IAP charts with them or to have them memorized it
should be a simple matter for you to cite that assertion. Please do so.

"No, smart pilots already know where the fixes are. They obtained that
information during their flight planning."

How is one to do that without having the charts or memory?

One can choose to have the charts if they desire, they're free online and
can be printed. I don't do that myself. I just examine them to identify
the FAFs, then I go to Aeroplanner.Com. Select Smart Chart (Sectional/WAC)
under the Charts Menu. Select Fix/WPT or Navaid and enter the FAF. A black
plus sign will appear at the location of the FAF on the sectional image. I
transfer it by eyeball to my paper sectional write in the name. Simple and
quick. Here's an example that shows CHIPP, the FAF for the VOR/DME RWY 4
approach at KELD:
