Narrative:
During preflight an FAA air carrier inspector came on board requested license, medical, and navigation manual. My charts I thought, were up-to-date, but I was missing #4. I guess it was never put in my box, I had #5, but he said I was also missing #6 which, according to the company, has not been issued yet. Supplemental information from acn 296325: hadn't flown for 1 month sick leave and vacation. Didn't arrive at airport early enough to complete my jgp revisions prior to preflight. Air carrier inspector boarded flight approximately 45 min prior to departure! Asked for license, medical and navigation manual. Always make sure navigation manuals are up-to-date prior to preflight as per FAA directives.
