Narrative:
In a PA-28R with NOAA plates I had filed an IFR flight to gulfport and brought my approach plates with me. Another instructor needed the plates for an instrument flight so I left him the book and only took the gulfport plates. When I was en route I noticed that I could not find the gpt plates anywhere. The field was calling IFR conditions. I told the controller I couldn't find my plates for gpt and requested a SVFR. The controller gave me a MDA and an ASR approach. On the ground I found my plates in the cargo area where they must have been blown when I had the air scoop out during taxi. NOAA plates use to be bound, with the new ring format they are easy to lose.
