And if I fly at an airfield where there are at least two suitable diversion airfields within just a few miles - both near enough that I can see them from my airfield's circuit on a good day? (Ok then, maybe not, but I can see them from 3000' overhead my airfield.) I know the frequencies, because I often get a FIS from one or other of them anyway. And I know that there is no airspace between me and them below a significan altitude..... Do I still need to carry a chart in case of diversion?

(I'm not suggesting that I wouldn't carry a chart, btw - I always do, even for circuits. Just wondering how people interpret the law.)

As an aside, am I right in thinking that, unlike JARs, the FARs do carry a specific requirement to carry an up-to-date chart?
