An aircraft has a total time in service of 468 hours. The Airworthiness Directive given was initially complied with at 454 hours in service. How many additional hours in service may be accumulated before the Airworthiness Directive must again be complied with?
The following is the compliance portion of an Airworthiness Directive. 'Compliance required as indicated, unless already accomplished.
I. Aircraft with less that 500-hours' total time in service: Inspect in accordance with instructions below at 500-hours' total time, or within the next 50-hours' time in service after the effective date of this AD, and repeat after each subsequent 200 hours in service.
II. Aircraft with 500-hours' through 1,000-hours' total time in service: Inspect in accordance with instructions below within the next 50-hours' time in service after the effective date of this AD, and repeat after each subsequent 200 hours in service.
III. Aircraft with more than 1,000-hours' time in service: Inspect in accordance with instructions below within the next 25-hours' time in service after the effective date of this AD, and repeat after each subsequent 200 hours in service.'
186
The aircraft has less than 500 hours total time in service, so compliance with the AD falls in category I. The AD has been complied with and the aircraft has operated for 14 hours since the compliance. The AD must be complied with each 200 hours of time in service, so the aircraft can operate for another 186 hours before the AD note must be complied with again.
