Question on ferry flight for inspection

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?

Thanks!

I've only done it once, but it seems to me that ferry permits aren't that
hard to get.

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

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

Michelle,

Isn't there an exception to this when you are flying for the
purposes of repair (or inspection or whatever). I don't have the
FARs right here, but I thought you were given an extra hour or
so for this purpose?

Can't remember.... Would have to look it up. Best bet get a ferry permit
and you are ok.

Unless it is an emergency AD, they list how soon you have to
accomplish them after the AD is issued. Been waiting until the last
minute huh? ;-)

Other than what the AD gives you, you'll need a ferry permit to move
it. Call your local FSDO and ask for a maintenance inspector.
They'll be glad to issue you one.

By the way, an AD is superior to any FAR, so what it says goes.
