Before every flight, do a complete check of the aircraft technical log. Check all maintenance items and inspections – not just the next 100-hour check.
Many maintenance requirements are based on hours flown, calendar dates, or whichever comes first, so check both the remaining hours and the due dates for every item recorded in the log.
If you're ever unsure about an aircraft's status or how to interpret a tech log entry, speak with an instructor before flying.
