Narrative:

I got to the aircraft and the clipboard to check the inspections -- were not available from the last flight yet. I asked the instructor about them. He explicitly told me it had another .6 of an hour or so to go until the aircraft was due for the 100-hour inspection. After the flight, it was discovered the aircraft was overflown the period before. I was not the acting PIC, although I logged PIC time. Corrective action is to ensure to doublechk every time.

Title: PVT PLT TRAINING FOR A COMMERCIAL PLT CERTIFICATE, WITH AN INSTRUCTOR, EXCEEDED THE 100 HR INSPECTION REQUIREMENT DUE TO NOT ACTUALLY LOOKING AT THE ACFT FLT RECORD TO OBSERVE THE ACFT FLT TIME STATUS.

Narrative: I GOT TO THE ACFT AND THE CLIPBOARD TO CHK THE INSPECTIONS -- WERE NOT AVAILABLE FROM THE LAST FLT YET. I ASKED THE INSTRUCTOR ABOUT THEM. HE EXPLICITLY TOLD ME IT HAD ANOTHER .6 OF AN HR OR SO TO GO UNTIL THE ACFT WAS DUE FOR THE 100-HR INSPECTION. AFTER THE FLT, IT WAS DISCOVERED THE ACFT WAS OVERFLOWN THE PERIOD BEFORE. I WAS NOT THE ACTING PIC, ALTHOUGH I LOGGED PIC TIME. CORRECTIVE ACTION IS TO ENSURE TO DOUBLECHK EVERY TIME.
