Narrative:

I flew the aircraft past an airworthiness directive unknowingly on apr/xx/96. I didn't see any notation marked concerning the airworthiness directive. I believe if I would have investigated further I would have found it to be unairworthy. A better preflight and check of the aircraft logs would have prevented the occurrence. Also more obvious notation of inspection times and airworthiness directive due dates would prevent this situation from happening again.
