The point is, to read the book!
Personally I distill the main things I need (approach speed, emergency drills, etc.) down to one side of A5 and attach it to my kneeboard.

Is that why it is called a QRH (quick reference handbook) on bigger aeroplanes 
.
Joking aside it is sad to see that some people take what the instructors say as gospel without looking at the manual to confirm what is being taught.

But having it on board does not equate to having read it. I'd also venture that it takes longer to look up information, particularly whilst also flying an aeroplane, than the time taken to need it.

EASA Csof A came in September 2004. All existing Csof A are deemed to be EASA equivalent. However it is the new ones issued post Sept 2004 that contain the statement that the Cof A must be carried on all flights.
This is at variance with the ANO Article 86!

Another thing the feds have right.
To be carried:
Airworthiness Certificate
Registration Certificate
Owner's manual (POH)
Weight and Balance sheet
No AROW no flight.
Makes life very easy.

I was told that the POH is a part of the C of A, and that the POH must be kept in the aircraft. Ours certainly is!
I bought my own to keep at home. It's unofficial, but identical to the official one apart from not having the CAA endorsements - one about not using flaps for takeoff, and one I forget.
