Narrative:
After conducting a training flight, I discovered that the aircraft I had flown had exceeded its 100 hour inspection requirement as well as (2?) airworthiness directives. The problem occurred as a result of the fact that the aircraft originally scheduled for the flight in question was 'down' for maintenance and the aircraft I flew was a last min substitute. The aircraft status board, where maintenance records are kept, had not been updated and because the aircraft I flew was infrequently used, I did not check the status of the required 100 hour inspection and airworthiness directives. Obviously, a closer check of the maintenance records will remedy this problem. Furthermore, an employee is now updating the maintenance board on a daily basis and monitoring the status of our compliance with all applicable maintenance requirements.

Title: INSTRUCTOR PLT FOR A FLYING SCHOOL CONDUCTED TRAINING IN A C152 WHEN THE 100 HR AND 2 AIRWORTHINESS INSPECTIONS WERE OVERDUE.
Narrative: AFTER CONDUCTING A TRAINING FLT, I DISCOVERED THAT THE ACFT I HAD FLOWN HAD EXCEEDED ITS 100 HR INSPECTION REQUIREMENT AS WELL AS (2?) AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES. THE PROB OCCURRED AS A RESULT OF THE FACT THAT THE ACFT ORIGINALLY SCHEDULED FOR THE FLT IN QUESTION WAS 'DOWN' FOR MAINT AND THE ACFT I FLEW WAS A LAST MIN SUBSTITUTE. THE ACFT STATUS BOARD, WHERE MAINT RECORDS ARE KEPT, HAD NOT BEEN UPDATED AND BECAUSE THE ACFT I FLEW WAS INFREQUENTLY USED, I DID NOT CHK THE STATUS OF THE REQUIRED 100 HR INSPECTION AND AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES. OBVIOUSLY, A CLOSER CHK OF THE MAINT RECORDS WILL REMEDY THIS PROB. FURTHERMORE, AN EMPLOYEE IS NOW UPDATING THE MAINT BOARD ON A DAILY BASIS AND MONITORING THE STATUS OF OUR COMPLIANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE MAINT REQUIREMENTS.
