What do I keep in POH?

[NickG]

The POH in my new to me 94 O has a bunch of old W&B sheets from previous equipment upgrades. The aircraft was weighed in 2019 and a new W&B sheet issued. Do I need to keep the old W&B sheets in the POH? Also, there’s a bunch of AFM supplements for avionics that have been replaced. I’m assuming I don’t need to keep these in the POH but you never know…. Does anyone have some insight? My old plane was a 1968 and had a 30 page POH and an AFM binder. Things have changed! lol

Thanks!

I ditched the supplements for things no longer in the airplane, but kept all the W&B history.

Normally we keep calculated W&B history because errors are common and keeping all the calculations provides a way to go back and find errors.

If the airplane was reweighed and all subsequent calculations are based on that, there is no reason to keep the old W&B calculations prior to the reweighing.

Any AFMS for removed equipment are no longer pertinent and should be removed.

I keep a separate file of documents that no longer apply just in case I want to look up something historical.

That makes sense! Seems like I can do some streamlining…

Weight it, get new W&B, toss the rest.

Totally agree you should keep all the old W&B, but if your POH is overflowing, just keep the current one.  The older ones can be put in the Aircraft Logbooks in case there is ever a need to review them.
