If the planned flight exceed the limit then, no you are not legal. If it
incidentally goes over you are fine.

What's the FAR regulation regarding launching a flight for the sole
purpose to get the plane to the mechanic for a mandatory inspection?
Say there's a recurring AD that's due in 1 Tach hour and maintenance
facility is 2 hours away. Can I legaly launch the flight without
getting a ferry permit?



I'm thinking that if the tach hits the magic number while airborne, you're
legal.
