Simple—You complete a condition inspection, make the appropriate log entries then go fly. It’s the same for standard certificated aircraft that are out of annual. Putting a date down doesn’t do anything other than serve as a reminder because if you go past the 12 months the plane is technically grounded whether there was a date there or not. IOW when you do the inspection, early, on-time, or late isn’t driven by logging the next due date.
Personally I don’t put a date in my log, but I do keep a sheet in my POH that lists all my next inspection dates (condition, pitot/static, and transponder), plus my next oil change, and ELT & main battery replacement dates.

Exactly.. I understand and agree with what you said. I was just trying to state that it's silly to have a "required by" date written in the book. Sure, it's a good reminder to put on your calendar, but not in the logbook. .

He won't have a legal set of Operating Limitations for his plane until the FAA Inspection.

My guess is that Gil was paraphrasing. I don't think an inspector would use the words "required by" under these circumstances. The correct terminology would be "due".

My mistake - I was thinking of entry after Phase I.

Well, I went back to look at mine, and sure enough, it had the "next inspection is due on" words. That's the last time that phrase appears in my logs, as I never put down anything more than is *required* by the FAA to complete the annual CI.
Why anyone would add more than what is required, I dunno...the amateur lawyer in me says don't do that, but that's just my opinion.
