As long as you have the "operating limitations" on board, which you are required to have, you are not required to have a flight handbook or operators manual.
Also, a friend who is a CFI and qualified RV pilot, under the insurance requirements, was asking if he could check out an owner in his newly flown RV ( owner is a competent pilot but need 5 hours for the insurance company) during the test period. Does a CFI checking out the owner for insurance qualify as required crew?
NO! The FAA has determined that there is NO circumstance where 2 people are required to fly our type of aircraft. Some FSDOs have said it is OK, but if you check with FAA at Oklahoma City, they will tell you otherwise.
