You are legally required to carry paper maps that show all relevant airspace (ie. a half mill) with you on any cross country flight




Please explain your basis for that assertion and provide references to any related laws or regulations.



Please also define "cross country flight" by reference to the related laws or regulations.


A glider shall be
provided with 'adequate equipment', which includes maps, charts etc,
necessary for the intended flight, including any diversion which may reasonably be expected.

ANO 2009 Art 37 and Schedule 4


I don't see any reference to paper maps in what you quoted, nor does it
exclude electronic maps. I think "adequate equipment" obviously includes
electronic maps, as they are unquestionably adequate.
