Narrative:

It is the policy at the airline for which I fly, to check a document in the flight 'can' to be sure that all inspections, airworthiness directives, etc, are current prior to flight. On dec/xx/95 I inadvertently overflew 2 airworthiness directives. Both were due at the same time. I believe that this situation occurred because: I overlooked the times on the airworthiness directives, and the mechanics overlooked the times on the airworthiness directives. I do recognize that it is ultimately the PIC's responsibility to make sure the aircraft is airworthy. A contributing factor may have been that I was possibly in a hurry, which caused the oversight. The obvious remedy for the situation is to slow down, and check things out thoroughly. I discovered the problem around dec/xx/95, by simply going through the paperwork to be sure all inspections were competed prior to flight.

Original NASA ASRS Text

Title: PLT OF AN SMA SEL EXCEEDED THE FLT TIME LIMITATIONS FOR 2 AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES.

Narrative: IT IS THE POLICY AT THE AIRLINE FOR WHICH I FLY, TO CHK A DOCUMENT IN THE FLT 'CAN' TO BE SURE THAT ALL INSPECTIONS, AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES, ETC, ARE CURRENT PRIOR TO FLT. ON DEC/XX/95 I INADVERTENTLY OVERFLEW 2 AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES. BOTH WERE DUE AT THE SAME TIME. I BELIEVE THAT THIS SIT OCCURRED BECAUSE: I OVERLOOKED THE TIMES ON THE AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES, AND THE MECHS OVERLOOKED THE TIMES ON THE AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES. I DO RECOGNIZE THAT IT IS ULTIMATELY THE PIC'S RESPONSIBILITY TO MAKE SURE THE ACFT IS AIRWORTHY. A CONTRIBUTING FACTOR MAY HAVE BEEN THAT I WAS POSSIBLY IN A HURRY, WHICH CAUSED THE OVERSIGHT. THE OBVIOUS REMEDY FOR THE SIT IS TO SLOW DOWN, AND CHK THINGS OUT THOROUGHLY. I DISCOVERED THE PROB AROUND DEC/XX/95, BY SIMPLY GOING THROUGH THE PAPERWORK TO BE SURE ALL INSPECTIONS WERE COMPETED PRIOR TO FLT.
