You are flying in a rental Cessna 182Q. You are not flying for hire....only for personal travel. You travel away from your home airport. While away, you notice that the 100-hour inspection has lapsed, meaning that the airplane has flown more than 100 hours since the last inspection. Your pilot rated friends tell you that 100-hour inspections are not required for non-training flights, so you should keep going. On checking, you find that Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2011-10-09 might apply to this airplane.

What is the subject of AD 2011-10-09?

Does AD 2011-10-09 apply to a Cessna 182Q?

Is the AD recurring or does it require a one time inspection (if it is recurring, how often must the compliance be re-checked)?

Given the scenario, can you fly this airplane home to San Jose?

Should you rely on your friends for advice when you have a smart-phone with access to the FARs and to Airworthiness Directives?
