Narrative:
On a relocation flight back to maintenance I overflew a mast nut retorque by 0.4 hours. I was confused with the maintenance numbers to our daily log for the aircraft as my most recent flight experience has been in bell 206 long ranger aircraft and a retorque with this aircraft is within 10 hours of flight time as opposed to flying the bell 206 B3 jet ranger that only has 5 hours of flight before retorque. This maintenance overflight was on the relocation flight back to our maintenance facility where the retorque was to be undertaken; with a result of 'no movement noted.'
