I have had 1 ramp check I was on a ferry permit (airplane was out of annual)
I was asked for the usual docks + copies of logbook entries and checked to
make sure I filed a flight plan in compliance with the ferry permit. How the
inspector knew I was on a ferry permit and leaving that day I have no Idea!
Yea, he was from the same fsdo that issued the permit and flooding was
threatening some airports in the area and he was proubally looking for ????.

I had the aircraft log books so I showed the A&P's endorsement and had my
flight plan form printed and said I filed with 1800wxbrief for a 10:00am
departure the inspector said have a nice day handed me back my paperwork, we
went and had a cup of coffee or two in the local fbo and had a friendly
conversation about flying etc. He wished me luck and a safe flight I was on
my way.

If you have nothing to hide & aircraft is in good condition then you should
not worry about the ramp checks!

not quite. you are required under part 91 to show certificates if
asked by any FAA official. the FAA can look at your aircraft, however
they cannot enter it without your permission.

for part 135 and 121, the FAA cannot interfer with a scheduled
operation, i.e. than cannot delay your departure time for a ramp check.
