"No person must operate this aircraft unless within the preceding 12 calendar months it has had a condition inspection performed in accordance with the scope and detail of appendix D to part 43, or other FAA-approved programs, and was found to be in a condition for safe operation. As part of the condition inspection, cockpit instruments must be appropriately marked and needed placards installed in accordance with ? 91.9. In addition, system-essential controls must be in good condition, securely mounted, clearly marked, and provide for ease of operation. This inspection will be recorded in the aircraft maintenance records."
I am slightly confused by the wording of the quote above.
What does "within the preceding 12 calendar months" really mean?
For example, if my last condition inspection was signed off on the 3rd of May do I have until the end of the next May to perform the next inspection, or must it be performed prior to the 3rd of May?
I suspect that I have until the end of May because that's the way the FAA physicals work, but I thought I should ask.
Thanks,
