Do regs require that an up-to-date VFR sectional and AFD be on board?

[DMD3.]

I'm aware that in the FAR/AIM, it says that pilot must become familiar with all information concerning the flight, but does it say that you must have a sectional and an airport facility directory (for a VFR flight) on board at all times, even if you stay in the pattern?

Still haven't gotten a device to use Foreflight yet, and I'm wanting to fly tomorrow but the FBO does not have any sectionals or AFDs for sale.

There is an FAA FAQ on this: "What is the FAA policy for carrying current charts?"
