Wrong, of course; he expect me to say extra fuel contingency since there isn't a nearby airport to divert to.
So you need two-way comms, a transponder, and contingency fuel.

Anything else?!?

You also need a flashlight. And a current medical certificate. And a First Officer. And a beacon and nav lights. And a flight attendant if there are passengers. And a copy of the AFM. And a VOR check within 30 days. And seatbelts. And oil. And 8 hours rest within the preceeding 24 hours. And a FCC certificate. And current weather and NOTAMs. And three landings within the preceeding 90 days. And a million other things.

I'm pretty sure nobody in the history of aviation has answered the what was required to fly in there question completely and correctly.
