Narrative:

Checking my logbooks and aircraft logs and medical and discovered 3 things: 1) my medical had expired, 2) my annual flight review was out-dated by 2 months, and the mechanics and I working on the aircraft had failed to sign off on the airworthiness directives. This was discovered when I went to check all my logs after an airspace violation. Contributing factors included the multiple groundings of the aircraft for various repairs -- in all the time given to repairing aircraft I simply forgot to keep up with the paperwork. To correct these oversights I have: 1) completed my medical, 2) set appointment for BFR and 3) contacted mechanic to do annual report.
